THE SPRINGBOK SIXTH DIVISION

Abstract

The Springbok Sixth Division was a mighty armoured force

Of men whose ancestors made war in ships, on foot and horse

They wrote a stirring chapter in Springbok Martial lore

When they went to sunny Italy in Nineteen-Forty-Four.

They were in the Springbok First Team and their modest claim to fame

Was their response to the clarion call: "Pay up and play the game!"

Their duty they did nobly as their fathers did of old

They proudly wore the Sixth Div flash of Springbok green and gold.
