Passchendaele - GoodBooks

Jack was born towards the end of the 19th century

He married his sweetheart at the age of 23

Shortly before the birth of their first child he answered the call of duty

He carried English bayonets, in an English way

He smoked German cigarettes on Christmas Day

He never made it past 25, he died at Passchendaele

Fighting for the cause in the war to end all wars

His son fell from a Spitfire in 1944

Well Daddy what did you do in the Great War?

And what did we learn the second time round?

Never again

Never again

He carried English bayonets, in an English way

He smoked German cigarettes on Christmas Day

He never made it past 25, he died at Passchendaele

Fighting for the cause in the war to end all wars

(Just keep on fighting, still we keep on fighting)

(Just keep on fighting, still we keep on fighting)
