Syston lads remembered: step- brothers paying the ultimate sacrifice

Up the Line

Serre Road Cemetery No. 1, Somme.

Up the line

Standing in rows

A whistle blows.

Loved ones weeping.

In the fields

Poppies grow,

Where friends and foe

Are sleeping.

In our hearts

We hold them dear

Who knew no fear.

Memoria keeping.

We will remember them.
