The headstones in a graveyard,
A soldier died at war,
In 1915 it says 'Upon a distant shore',
He was a very brave man,
His epitaph tells all,
'Hero' of the trenches
He was bound to fall,
He was a rather quiet man
He loved the country life,
Pottering in the garden,
Or reading to his wife,
He was a very tall man,
Nearly six foot five,
His freinds all called him 'Big Jim'
thats when he was ALIVE.
