For the fallen

Tommy Atkins was a boy who answered Kitchener’s calling.
The gun he carried was no toy, nor were those brave men falling.

Tommy’s spirit still lives on today, as brave men go to war.
Some, the ultimate price do pay, as many did before

Now their eyes no more can see, their bodies lie there still.
Lives given that we may be free, to speak and think at will.

For all that you have done, we salute you Tommy Atkins.
At the setting of the Sun, we remember you Tommy Atkins.
