Anzac legend

Who are the diggers and what did they do?

This is a question your kids may ask you

You tell them of these men

Who fought our warring friend's

They fought both day and night an awful bloody sight

They fought them on the sand And in a foreign land

The men they were so young Confronted with a gun

The men they tried to run Got shot at one by one Some they lost their lives

Unlucky who did survive They struggled through their lives

Friends,fathers, brothers, cousins Picked off in their dozens

Bodies everywhere A stench that filled the air

Bullets whizzing round The Screams the sights and sounds

Brave souls who had no fear So when your kids ask you

Whatever will you do Anzacs heroes through and through

True Australians this is true They paid a bloody debt

Which we will remember And never shall forget
Lest we forget
