The Service Man
By Rudyard Kipling
Tommy you was when it began,
But now that it is oer
You shall be called The Service Man
Enceforward, evermore.
Battry, brigade, flank, centre, van,
Defaulter, Army-corps,
From first to last, The Service Man
Enceforward, evermore.
From Allifax to Industan,
From York to Singapore,
Orse, foot, an guns, The Service Man
Enceforward, evermore!
