LEST WE FORGET TO DO 

 OUR PART 



"They say, who have come back from Over 

 There, that at night the troubled earth between 

 the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that 

 Death rides whistling in every wind, and that the 

 very mists are charged with awful torment. 



"In this renaissance of our country's valor, we, 

 who will edge the wedge of her assault, make calm 

 acceptance of its hazards. For us, the steel-swept 

 trench, the stiffening cold weariness, hardship, 

 worse. For you, for whom we go, you millions 

 safe at home- what for you? * * * 



"We shall need food. We shall need care. We 

 shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for 

 our hands. We shall need terribly and without 

 failure supplies and equipment in a stream that 

 is constant and never-ending. From you, who are 

 our resource and reliance, who are the heart and 

 hope of that humanity for which we smite and 

 strive, must come these things.
