World War II
A LOST COMRADE by: Sergeant George W. Henley
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat, The soldiers last tattoo; The echo taps, from far away, Has bid his warrior a sad adieu.
No more must he ever worry, About finally facing the foe; His battles are all left behind him, He's relieved of all worries and woes.
This warrior now has found his peace, He will hear no more alarms; For he's found his final resting place, Where there is no call to arms.
I pray his glory is not forgot, When fame her record keeps; I pray you will care for this hollowed spot, Where my valiant comrade sleeps.
