AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This unattributed poem, honouring 'our bravest', speaks generally of the call to arms 'from friendly lands afar' heeded by brave (presumably Australian) soldiers. No specific war or battle is mentioned, although it appears to be a tribute to those who fought in World War I.
