ANZACS
Edgar Wallace
The children unborn shall acclaim
The standard the Anzacs unfurled,
When they made Australasia's fame
The wonder and pride of the world.
Some of you got a V.C.,
Some 'the Gallipoli trot',
Some had a grave by the sea,
And all of you got it damned hot,
And I see you go limping through town
In the faded old hospital blue,
And driving abroad - lying down,
And Lord! But I wish I were you!
I envy you beggars I meet,
From the dirty old hats on your head
To the rusty old boots on your feet -
I envy you living or dead.
A knighthood is fine in its way,
A peerage gives splendour and fame,
But I'd rather have tacked any day
That word to the end of my name.
I'd count it the greatest reward
That ever a man could attain;
I'd sooner be 'Anzac' than 'lord',
I'd sooner be 'Anzac' than 'thane'.
Here's a bar to the medal you'll wear
There's a word that ill glitter and glow,
And an honour a king cannot share
When you're back in the cities you know.

Wow! Gre20000, You're asking too much. I might be tempted to answer these nine questions if you paid me a good hourly rate.

I was just joking about being paid.
Here is my point. You are asking too many questions at once. It is like asking someone to write a book for you. Also, the worst question you can ask about a poem, is 'what does it mean?' Poets, especially, will say that the meaning of a poem is contained in the way the poem is written, not in some other words that are used to explain it.

Hi Gre2000,
Yes, some of us already spent quite a lot of time in other threads, trying to explain this ANZACS poem. You need to think about it now, yourself. If you have any more questions that are specific, please write again.
Best wishes, Clive
