300 Yards of Ground
Five miles of shell holes wide
Soaked to the bone & mud to the knees, I grieve, I confide
No blade of grass or a tree
But a desolate hell of a place there’d once been
We dig ourselves in, hitting ground with artillery
At twenty past five to the tee
With a roar that tore at the seething ground
Some 3000 guns opened up all around
But the barrage was ours and our own guns took our men down
Any man who shows his head, will be shot down
For 300 yards of ground...
Making a rush for the hill, the gunners of theirs were shooting still
And the wire between them and us, it was fifty yards wide
Dozens hung up in the wire, were shot down
Any man who shows his head, will be shot down
For 300 yards of ground...
The light of the day showed the cost
What was left of us realised the day was lost
