When you're lounging in the old "Gin Mill", Once more back from foreign shores, and you speak of this hill or that hill, and you're addin' up your scores; Just take this down in your stock of notes, and don't forget to drive it home, 'bout the battles that were fought and won just a few miles south of Rome.

This happened on January morning, a nice day for the month; with the boys all loaded on landing Craft, A waitin' for the jump. Their destination was unknown, their thoughts were that of home, when they hit the beaches just a few miles south of Rome.

The beaches were all littered with the implements of war, and the guns began their rumbling, on the slopes just up from shore. The Foe returned their fire; He was kicking up the Foam. This all happened on the beaches just a few miles south of Rome.
