R171883 Flight Sergeant Leslie Howard Stevenson RCAF shot and killed on 27 - photo 2

R.171883 Flight Sergeant Leslie Howard Stevenson RCAF
shot and killed on 27 December 1944 by a Luftwaffe guard who was obeying orders.

*

Theres a four-engined bomber just leaving its base
Bound for alien shores
Heavily laden with cookies and such
Presents to even the score.
Theres many a flak battery throwing up hell,
Theres many a fighter as well,
But the unlucky bod that gets caught, the poor sod,
Shouts back for your parachutes all.

Bless em all, the flak batteries, fighters and all.
Bless all the AGs and bomb aimers too.
Bless all the pilots and rest of the crew,
For were saying goodbye to em all
As to the escape hatch we crawl
We havent a notion
If were oer the ocean
So cheer up my lads,
LET US FALL.

The Stalag Luft VII version of Bless em all (from the diary of John Tomney).
