Captain W.E. Johns Rallies Us in the Dark Days of the War


We’ll beat the Huns,
Said Captain Johns.
You know the chap,
The Biggles chap.
Remember how
We beat them once.
They had the guns,
They had the men,
We beat them then,
We’ll beat them now.
We’ll beat the swine
With British grit
And British spine.
We love a scrap,
We’ll never quit,
No bleeding shit,
So cut the crap,
Said Captain Johns.
You know the chap,
The Biggles Chap.

John Whitworth
