War forged your reputation
Inspiring language convinced your nation:
Never, never, never
Surrender.
To give blood toil tears and sweat,
Our duty this day  to be done for
No victory was more important than this.

Civilisation’s saviour are you
Heralding the truth when none believed
Until it was too late, most thought.
Redoubt sprang forth from your words
Courageous transcending oratory
Hope sublime in hopeless times
Inciting minds beyond logic
Lives were lost in sacrifice for
Lives saved in ensuing generations.

We shall never forget
