We Will Remember Them

With their hair a little whiter,

 their step not quite so sure

Still they march on proudly,

 as they did the year before.

Theirs were the hands that saved us,

 their courage showed the way

Their lives they laid down for us, 

that we may live today.

From Gallipoli's rugged hillsides, 

to the sands of Alamein

On rolling seas and in the skies,

those memories will remain.

Of airmen and the sailors, 

of Lone Pine and Suvla Bay

The boys of the Dardenelles,

 are remembered on this day.

They fought their way through jungles,

 their blood soaked desert sands

They still remember comrades 

who rest in foreign lands.

They remember the siege of old Tobruk, 

the mud of the Kokoda Trail

Some paying the supreme sacrifice, 

with courage that did not fail.

To the icy land of Korea,

 the steamy jungles of Vietnam

And the heroic battle of Kapyong and 

that epic victory at Long Tan.

Fathers, sons and brothers, 

together they fought and died

That we may live in peace together, 

while at home their mothers cried.

When that final bugle calls them,

 to cross that great divide

Those comrades will be waiting,

 when they reach the other side.
