The Sad Part of War
Heroes Remember
The Sad Part of War
You feel pretty proud that you did your share,
that’s about it. I did my part.
Nothing extraordinary you might say but
I was there, I mean, and
I quite often think like armistice,
the people we lost in Dieppe,
people we lost in Normandy,
our comrades and people lost in
Holland and even in Germany.
The gun detachment that I had left,
one of them got a direct hit and
I think the whole twelve people were killed but
you don’t hear too much about it but
all you know a certain detachment got hit
so that’s all you hear, you know.
That’s sad, that part.
