I had a valiant comrade,
And a steadfast man was he,
He has crossed the honored field in pride,
Many lived because he fought and died,
In the line of honor eternal,
Stands my comrade true.
(To tune of “Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden”)
May he rest in peace.
My sympathy to his family.
Never waste sympathy for a dead warrior. It was his job & it distracts you from killing the son’s-of-bitches who did it.
