He lived next door but one to us
and chased me down the entry.
We went to school and played our tricks.
We worked at weaving, wenched and fished.
Listened to the deadly yarn
the friendly sergeant spun.
Signed us up, lined up like bobbins,
waiting for our places in the sun.
Willie shared a *** with me
before the whistle blew.
We had a packet left
so shared our memories too.
We walked straight as shuttles
through that valley of the Somme.
Six hundred fell with Willie
neath the barrage from the ***
The slaughter carried on.
The East Lancs filled our ranks
from outside Accrington.
Will sharing **** catch on.
