What Did the Prtyntes Dor
Our days tcem with daring deeds.
And books are filed with fame:
Brass bands do play and cannons roar
Tn honor Of the name
OF men who held commissions. and
Were honest, brave and true,
But still the question comes to me- <
What did tho priyates do?
Who were tho men to guard the camp
Who dug the graves OF comrades dear
Who laid them, IN tho ground2
Who sent their dying message homo
TO those he never knew?
II officers did all this.
What did the private do?
Who we're the mon to I'LL the place
OF comrades slain!E strife?
who we're the men to risk their own
TO save comrades's life2
WHO was II lived 1, on y, s e g perls
II the officers dld TINS alone.
Who laid in pits, on rainy nights.
All eager for the fray?
who marched beneath tho scorching sun
Through many toilso ON day.
Who pale the su Her., sp Srols price
II Officers Get all the praise
What did tho privates do7
All honor to the brave Old boys,
Who rallied at the call;
Without regard TO name or rank.
We honor one and all.
They are passing over. one by one.
And soon they'll all be sped
TO where the hook will surely show
