BATTLE REINACTMENT topic

Many are not aware of research, dedication and commitment by the French people from children, entire families and people of ll ages to

HONOR AMERICANS, preserve, and recreate historic battles after the Dday invasion.

Many are not aware of the suffering and loss of French people before and after the invasion, (Le Havre, Picauville), for example.

And those that were left, well we tried to survive

In that mad world of blood, death and fire

And for ten weary weeks, I kept myself alive

Though around me the corpses piled higher

And when I woke up in me hospital bed

And saw what it had done, well I wished I was dead

And so now every April, I sit on me porch

And I see my old comrades, how proudly they march

And the old men march slowly, old bones stiff and sore

And the young people ask, "what are they marching for?"

But the band plays Waltzing Matilda

And the old men still answer the call

But as year follows year, more old men disappear

Someday no one will march there at all……

Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
