We were sent up to the
Nijmegen Bridge in Holland
During ww2, As
The only road to the bridge,
Needed constant repair.
Seems a quagmire developed
And just swallowed all the debris
We could pour into it.
We worked day and night
Blowing up any damaged buildings
And using the bricks as fill
For this important road.
It was the only supply road
For the British 2nd Army,
Who used the Nijmegen Bridge
That led into Germany.
