(In Memory Of A Fearless Fighter Pilot Who Won Distinctions)
If ever you're discouraged, and despair
And feel that nobody remembers any more
The tireless efforts of your dauntless crew
Determined to succeed and not be overcome
By enemy bombardment in the war -
Realise with satisfaction and with pride
That what we take for granted in this century -
Freedom from nightly terror, as we crouched and prayed
That we would live to see another rationed, couponed day -
We owe to your unselfish gallantly.
