Maitland: Cape Town
| (1) | They have fought in many battles and their glory and renown Have preceded them where’eer they go, they uphold the British crown; They’re the foundation of the Empire, those leaders of the world, With their strong right arms they’ve fought for home And their foes, have downward hurl’d |
| (2) | And now again success to them, they have conquered another foe, They fought, the enemy’s [illegible] to [illegible], and they laid their foeman low; And as they fought, they raised a prayer for the fallen of their kind, For deeds of bravery were done there, by their comrades left behind. |
