From such a pit, on one of these dark nights,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joseph was sold unto the Midianites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On such a hill where speak the heavy guns,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rispah stood mourning for her seven sons;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In that wrecked village, momentarily shelled,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ages ago was the Last Supper held;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rock-hewn tomb, where I headquarters made,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was such a one as where our Lord was laid;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now where the camels, caught by pagan fire,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the bare rocks scream struggle and expire,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We come, the London Men. The Scots, proud race<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of Northern Warriors, won for us this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now grant us courage, strength the foe to stem,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And dash enough to take Jerusalem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the record straight, Nebi Samwil was stormed by Gurkhas of the 75th Division, who a few days later were relieved by the Lowland Scots of the 52nd Division \u2013 from whom we took over. Many Gurkhas dead were lying about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
