All Hell broke losse in fury, DIEPPE The dawn, the fateful morning broke. Caan 3 With skies so clear and bright, : No hint it game of storm or strife, Or terrors of the night. I saw the birds and flowers wake, | How calm and peaceful they; While man upon destruction bent .- Sets out upon his day. As if magicians faked the scene, There rose as if ablaze A “magic carpet" blotting out, All else before my gaze. The vibrant air shrieked out aloud, A storm rose to its height ’ I stood transfixed with wonder, as The heav'ns turned black as night. | | A mighty force of ships with wings i Flew straight across from em, And it covered like a mantle, | os on the sea. "age os I trembled with excitement » as | =. They reached the distant shore, And preyed to God to help them, when. =o G The guns began to roar. From sea and land and sky, And brave men fought for glory And for it they would die. Those gallant men pushed onward P Though faced with walls of steel, Now power could efer resist them, Their courage seemed unreal. From Canada those brave men came, , A valorous band of knights, Who gave their all in Freedom's cause And other people's rights. The world will long remember, that Dieppe Commando raid, "Twas there our men showed tyrants, Their country we'd invade. BENJ. R. STITT, London, Ont. Sept. 1942. as
