Dean Sbatlain, Tank Commander, on a battlefield in Africa) This poem was forwarded to the Globe and Mail by Edith M. Bacque, Toronto, with the following comment: "Lieut Shatlain amputated his own foot with a jack-knife, and thought he was dying when he wrote this poem. He was rescued by Americans after two hours hiding, and now is in hospi- tal in England). What did you do today, my fries d, From morning until night? How many times did you complain That rationing is too tight? When are you going to start to do All of the things you say? A soldier would like to know, my friend. What did you do today? We met the enemy today, And took the town by storm. Happy reading it will make For you tomorrow morn. You'll read with satisfaction The brief communique. We fought, but are you fighting? What did you do today? My gunner died in my arms today; I feel his warm blood yet . Your neighbor's dying boy gave, out A scream I can't forget. On my right a tank was hit, A flash and then a fire; The stench of burning flesh, Still rises from the pyre, What did you do, my friend, today To help us with the task? Did you work harder and longer for less, Or is that too much to ask? What right heve•,I,te ask ,you Yen probably probably will say. Maybe now you'll understand. , You see, I died today. We have taken the liberty of repro- ducing this moving and poignant verse which appeared in current issue of the Courier. It expresses in the vital, ur- gent need of this hour.
