War service: Egypt, Gallipoli, Western Front Under the pen-name 'H.B. Martin" he wrote 'Echoes from Gallipoli': 'For some outpost that must be manned/You left the southern shore,/Leaving your loved Australian land/To come back never more./For a great cause your lives you gave,/(You never could be slaves)/Your honours won, your duty done, You lie in heroes' graves./Dead heroes of Gallipoli/At rest from toil and strife,/You gave to keep your country free/The greatest gift of life;/Midst deadly deal and glint of steel/Your prowess well was shown;/Upon Right's side you nobly died/Where Anzac breezes moan.' |
