WALTHAM CHURCH XMAS 1943
Happy Christmas!
The happiness ends
WALTHAM CHURCH XMAS EVE 1943
Happy Christmas!
But here on Waltham Drome
Happiness ends
Hard to believe
On Christmas night
Our a/c returning from Berlin
Our aircrew almost home
On Xmas night
Are lying dead
In Medical Flight
The Medical Officer
Reflects
All these young lives
And I couldn’t save one
Happy Christmas!
The happiness ends
WALTHAM CHURCH XMAS EVE 1943

On Christmas night

Our aircrew almost home

In Medical Flight

Reflects
All these young lives
And I couldn’t save one
