William Richard Torvaney - Beaumont Hamel

Beaumont Hamel, Beaumont Hamel
oh that thrice-accursed village
where we gazed
all amazed
saw you razed
God be praised!
There was little left for pillage
Beaumont Hamel, Beaumont Hamel
you who nearly broke the back
of the much-enduring camel
Scottish Jock or English Jack
rest your cinders on the Grill
shattered hamlet on the hill

William Richard Torvaney
