Swoop of the Falcon - Hail of Bullets

Year of a legend

Habitat the Corps

Battle his element

Into the Great War

Keep the Right Wing strong

First encounter

Reported, killed at Dun

To live as a hero

One must survive

In a Hail of Bullets

Worn out but alive

Stalemate in the West

Damp entrenchments

Austere conditions

Wire entanglements

Wounded whilst charging

Fixed on bayonet

Storming earthworks

MG’s and Hand Grenades

To live as a hero

One must survive

Devoted to his men

Brings them out alive

Quality of decision

His was indeed

Like the swoop of the falcon

Of pure warrior’s breed
