#cameliers — Public Fediverse posts

At #gazas heights the Light #Horse dashed,

Bold #Cameliers charged in vain;

The #Welsh were slaughtered, #Scots were smashed;

In the #Wadi #blood flowed like #rain

Then Tim heard an officer—who at Mons

Had stemmed the #huns advance—

Exclaim, ’mid the roar of the murdering guns,

“I wish I was back in France.”

#poem called "Lucky Tim" about #TimothyHogg

So here we are again #history #repeats itself, first as a #tragedy second as a #farce
