Artist: 1914
Song: …and a Cross Now Marks His Place
?
I regret very much to inform you
That your son Private ??{first name}?? Harrison
Was killed in action on the lines of
The 21st ?
Death was instantaneous without suffering
The company was taking part in an attack
(and) your son’s gun team was one of them
? ? ? killed the enemy
The attack was successful
And our guns reached
And established new positions
Later in the night
The enemy shelled our lines
??{our}?? shells fell on your son’s gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away
??{our}?? shells fell on your son’s gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away
And he lies in a soldiers grave
Where he fell (fell… fell)
And he lies in a soldiers grave
Where he fell (fell… fell)
And he lies in a soldiers grave
Where he fell (fell… fell)
And he lies in a soldiers grave
Where he fell (fell… fell)
? ? all the company
Deeply sympathise with you in your loss
Your son always did his duty
And now has given his life for his country
We will honor him I trust you will feel
Some consolation in remembering this
His number was 6273
??{to all this}?? company
Later in the night
The enemy shelled our lines
??{our}?? shells fell on your son’s gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away
??{and the}?? shells fell on your son’s gun
Killing him and wounding a comrade
It was impossible to get his remains away (away)
? ? ? ? in war (but repeated a few times)
