Just found this poem in a book, which was lent to me by a friend:

INTERLUDE

You might have been a dogface

Or drove a tank or truck

But you did your job and faced it ---

And if you're still here, that's luck.

The men who strung the wires

Or who loaded deadly freight,

Weren't issued many medals, but---

There's few who didn't rate.

And don't forget the nurses

Who have shared our risk and fare,

Nor the medics and the stretcher teams

Who gave our wounded care;

The engineers who waded

Into fields of mines and traps;

And the men who cooked the chow

Or pecked the keys or drew the maps.

There's lots of jobs that must be done

To win this kind of war,

And Victory's due to Every man---

And woman---in the Corps!

Col W.P. Burn, CWS - II Corps
