We Were Near The Hill

And through the smoke,

Amidst the battles thrall.

I heard a comrade speak!

It warmed my heart,

and quelled, the fear,

that lay ........deep inside.

And, it did make me laugh…

“Where the fucking hell have you been?” he said!

As shells rained down and bullets flew.

“I got lost,” I said...

… In the gully at Darwin in 82.
