Description

For "MGWAT" in Great War Forum .
"Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun"

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?
So sad and pretty.

I love this pic!
The poem was used as a song in the Mel Gibson movie, "We Were Soldiers..."
The song was both haunting and touching.
A perfect match for this picture!

Thanks! I remeber the song and then later found out that it was actually related to WW1. So I dug up the story.

Bravissimi! Nicely matched with the poetry. Melancholy, poignant, and thought provoking.

Thanks man, nice to see you commenting on these "military"-pics again, although I know how you feel about them... and don't worry, I'll never stop loving dinosaurs and drawing them
