Lest We Forget

The British troops at the DardanellesWere blown to bits by British shells. Sold to the Turks by Vickers.And many a brave Canadian youthWill shed his blood on foreign shores,And die for Democracy, Freedom, Truth,With his body full of Canadian ores,Canadian nickel, lead, and scrap,Sold to the German, sold to the Jap, With Capital watching the tickers.
