Poem for The Forgotten Army The Forgotten Army I would like to dedicate this poem,to all who served in burma,also their relatives. Out there in the jungle down in burma way, A few forgotten soldiers go slowly on their way,They dream of the girls they left back home,But soon they hope to cross the foam,To see this land and love ones,and never more to roam. Some of them were repat with their time expired,longing for a troopship to take them to their fires,They will often think of Burma plains,Of dust and heat and monsoon rains,And roads that lead to heaven and roads that lead to hell. All you boys in blighty who travelled far from home,Who did not like the cities of Tripoli and Rome,Just think of the boys who fought and dwelt,In jungle heat were brasses melt,Where Japs were bloody bastards and mossi bites were felt. When the war is over and the job is done,All you boys from Burma can tell this to your sons,Remember the war against the hun but dont forget a war was won,In south east Asia's corner against the rising sun. By Ex Sgt Alf Shacklady 19th Indian Division 134 Jungle Field Reg.
