"Our army is a motley crew
In dress and armour, duties too,
And each and all I love to see--
But most I love the Infantry.

Though other corps are dear to me
Yet most I prize the Infantry.

The Engineer, with Science crowned,
For action traces out the ground.

Artillery at distance play

The foe advances light and free,
Who meet him then? The Infantry!!!

The noble hearts still proudly form
And hark! A shout—tis Victory!
Who would not love the Infantry?"

~General Bernard Bee
