Battle

By Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

Back

THEY ask me where I’ve been,

And what I’ve done and seen.

But what can I reply

Who know it wasn’t I,

But someone, just like me,

Who went across the sea

And with my head and hands

Slew men in foreign lands …

Though I must bear the blame

Because he bore my name.
