We tried our best to keep him. We pleaded for him to remain. But he said, my country is calling. Let me go or I will die in shame. We remember the day you left us. We remember the last goodbye. Little we thought when you left us. You were going away to die. Your loss we cannot realize. Nor feel that you have gone. But we know our grief we will have to bear. When your mates come back and you are not there. A faithful brother, so true and kind. No friend on earth like him we find Twelve months have passed and none can tell. The loss of our brother we loved so well. Far away from all who loved him. Soldiers gently laid him to rest. In a faraway grave, he is sleeping. One of God's bravest and best. No matter how we long, dear Anzac. No matter how we call. There is nothing left to answer. But your photo on the wall.
