IVOR JAMES.

KANDAHAR.*

Now, list to me, my countrymen !
While I a tale relate,

Of how a Welshman gained renown
For Wales by valour great.

The rebel host, in countless hordes,
Had gathered through the night;
And in the villages around

Hid stealthily from sight.

Within the city walls, our men

Were moving to and fro,

Waiting till morning light should dawn,
Forth from the town to go.

Day came; and swift the city gates
Unclosed with joyful clang,

Whilst thro' their portals marched our troops,
'Mid cheers that loudly rang.

Behind the walls the men had pined,

But now each heart beat high,

As forth they sped to meet the foe,
To conquer or to die.

With banners waving in the air
Moved on that gallant band,
A handful pitted 'gainst a host,
The bravest of the land.

And soon they met in deadly strife,
'Mid clamour and 'mid din ;
As fiercely on the Afghans rushed
The hard fought field to win.
Dauntless our men repelled the foe,
Unheeding death or life,

And fiercer now the slaughter raged,
More furious the strife.

And thinner, thinner grew our ranks,
As many a hero fell,

Pierced by the aim of bullet keen,

Mangled by cruel shell.

*For carrying off a private soldier of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers under fire of the nemy, Lieutenant St. Lucien Chase, then twenty years of age, received the Victoria Cross. By lineage he is Welsh, being descended from the Howells.
