Newcastle Daily Chronicle 20/2/1920 includes a poem written by “C.S.C.”
The Heritage.
Not of their lives, alone, they gave so nobly,
Not of the blood, alone, they gave in love,
Not of their sacrifice, God knows its greatness,
And in that hell, men sought a God above.
But of the heritage they bought in dying,
And the great Peace, that must be ours to keep.
Watch! Lest the blood of those our Dead, be on our shoulders.
Away with sleep.
