Explore "That V.C" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Twas in the days of front attack, / This glorious truth we'd yet to learn it -- / That every 'front' had got a back, / And French was just the man to turn it.
A wounded soldier on the ground / Was lying hid behind a hummock; / He proved the good old proverb sound -- / An army travels on its stomach.
