Ok, so the other bloke got their weeks before,
And your point is ??

Ours had a more disastrous time, bad luck, bad weather ,
And they all died as hero’s,
And besides, to be fair, if our boys had got their first,
We would not be here now, would we?
Where’s your sense of adventure,
At least they tried, they were just unlucky,
Brave, but unlucky .
