The British Army of 1914 Alfred W. Pollard
in Westminster Gazette
LET us praise God for the Dead: the Dead who died in our cause.
They went forth a little army: all its men were as true as steel.
The hordes of the enemy were hurled against them: they fell back, but their hearts failed not.
They went forward again and held their ground: though their foes were as five to one.
They gave time for our host to muster: the most of the men who never thought to fight.
A great host and a mighty: worthy of the men who died to gain them time.
Let us praise God for these men: let us remember them before Him all our days.
Let us care for the widows and orphans: and for the men who came home maimed.
Truly God has been with us: these things were not done without His help.
O Lord our God, be Thou still our helper: make us worthy of those who died.
