Allies land at Anzio 1/22/1944
Let them bum about the desert,
Let them talk about Dunkirk,
Let them brag about the jungles
Where the Japanese did lurk.
Let them boast about their campaign
And their medals till they're red:
You can put the lot to silence
When you mention the beachhead.
"Ballad of Anzio," Anon.; Ballads of World War II,
"Collected for the Lili Marleen Club of Glasgow"
by Seumas Mor Maceanruig, Caledonian Press, c1952.
