"Oh, gather 'round me, comrades: and listen while I speak
Of a war, a war, a war where hell is six feet deep.
Along the shore, the cannons roar.  Oh how can a soldier sleep?
The going's slow on Anzio.  And hell is six feet deep.

"Praise be to God for this captured sod that rich with blood does sep:
With yours and mine, like butchered swine's; and hell is six feet deep.
That death awaits there's no debate; no triumph will we reap.
The crosses grow on Anzio, where hell is six feet deep."

Audie Murphy.
