Where are those others? -- the men who stood / In the first wild spate of the German flood, / And paid full price with their heart's best blood / For the saving of you and me: / French's Contemptibles, haggard and lean, / Allenby's lads of the cavalry screen, / Gunners who fell in Battery L, / And Guardsmen of Landrecies?
Where are those others who fought and fell, / Outmanned, outgunned and scant of shell, / On the deadly curve of the Ypres hell, / Barring the coast to the last? / Where are our laddies who died out there, / From Poelcapelle to Festubert, / When the days grew short and the poplars bare / In the cold November blast?
