We're represented as being ready to
fight on the side of the allies TO re-
gain the liberty which their country
once lost through European diplomatic
intrigue.

government, Lithuanian legions.
After recounting the sacrifices made

shed their blood as a unit for the free

to be scattered far and wire through
the allied armies to die on strange
fields in order to win hard-earned VIC
tories for a cause that may in no way
