Riddled with rats, lice and mud,
Endless rows of barbed wire,
No escape from the relentless rain,
Constant shelling, day and night,
Hell on Earth.
Wounded men, screaming in pain,
Amongst the living, dead and dying.
Rations scarce, morale low,
Fighting for a cause unknown,
All hope seems lost.
Remembrance, lest we forget.
Echoes of the past, still haunt today.
