Alexander Louis Fraser

“ No mother wept when thou didst take thy leave,
No home hopes now in vain for thy return,
No saddened family for months shall grieve,
When from some messenger thy fate they learn.
Still thou art not unclaimed, for Britain knows
That thou didst cross the world for sake of her,
And thou, brave boy, art brother to all those
Whom freedom doth in these scarred fields inter. ”
