TO THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR ALL In all parts of the world they fall;

Do these men stop or falter or fear

When they hear the bugle call?

No! They push until they near

Our enemies and crush their stubborn wall.

These warriors from all our Allies,

Who fight for our common cause

Of Freedom, Justice, and religious ties,

Will conquqer our loathsome enemy, because

We have Faith in our Heavenly Skies.

And when our lands are free once more,

With honors of war in the distant past

And many of our boys sick, wounded and sore,

Let us all remember to the very last

These loved ones who could give no more.

There are many in all these nations,

Who soon forget their obligations.

Shall we forget those who answered the call

Gave everything with no ostentation

But gave up life-and gave up all.

L'ENVOI March on brave souls,-and receive

everlasting peace (The Mock-Up acknowledges thanks to Charles H. Yust, longtime foreman at Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, and veteran Navy man who retired when Capt. C. Gulbranson, Base CO, was inspector of ordinance there, for the moving poem above.)
