I have other work on Gallpoli. Also other work on Word War One.
On this day , Joe , stood among his pals , looking to the front
Mouth dry , needing a puff on his pipe , as he needed a piss badly
Orders given , '' FUSILEERS WILL NOW BOARD ''
Ships guns fired , sending shells , 15 inch , 16 inch , towards the clifftops
Shells hit the cliffs , the cliffs erupted , black smoke rose to the sky above
Joe , sixth in line , descended from the ship , to take his place in the boat
The boat had been a lifeboat in another life
All to soon it would be a boat of death

ON THIS DAY APRIL THE 25TH 1915
Back home in Tyldesley , Lancashire , he had a wife , a daughter , Mary , age eightOn this day , Joe , stood among his pals , looking to the front
Mouth dry , needing a puff on his pipe , as he needed a piss badly
Orders given , '' FUSILEERS WILL NOW BOARD ''
Ships guns fired , sending shells , 15 inch , 16 inch , towards the clifftops
Shells hit the cliffs , the cliffs erupted , black smoke rose to the sky above
Joe , sixth in line , descended from the ship , to take his place in the boat
The boat had been a lifeboat in another life
All to soon it would be a boat of death
