Across the open desert sand
our men their mines did lay
the were to halt the German force
they knew would come that way
Then out of the blue there came
a vehicle of their own
the presence of the minefield
no way he could have known
Disaster lay in store they feared
but then to their surprise
he came on then to right and left he veered
and came right through unscathed
They could not believe their eyes
and asked how he had done it
without hesitation or delay
it was the officer in front, he claimed
who led me all the way
But there was no one there they said
there was no one around
Now they took him by the arm
to where upon the ground
and officer lay dead,
killed earlier in the day
But this is the one, he said.
