K i 32, X 1 l X X l To Qur Soldiers and Sailors and All A CG1enn Dewlin fell in the Argonne battle September 28, 1918. A comrade bending over him got this last message: Tell my mother I was not afraid to die. J I II To every lad who gave his life. Soldier rest, thy battle endedg Now thy form with earth be blenrdedg Hallowed region Where thy ashes lie. Every breeze that sweeps the ocean Tells the source of thy devotion: Mother, I was not afraid to die. To every lad who offered his life. Soldier pause, nor rush to battleg Gone the shock, and roar, and rattle: Let the smoke be lifted by and by. May your courage fail you never And this feeling guide you ever: Mother, I was not afraid to die. 9
