We are proud within our hearts,

your representatives in this gigantic

sion will be proud of.
Friends, we are filled with ambi-

Huns and avenge our friends, to ex
act retribution for the sufferings of
Belgium and the human race.
When the Americans begin to
fight, when they go over the top.
when the Stars and Stripes are raised

Ascension, will be there.
Duty calls us, therefore we must
