They came from the North lands, They came from the South lands, They came from the mountains, They came from the fens, They drilled hard with rifle, They drilled with their bayonets, They practised with mortars, They practised with Stens. Now they're fighting our battles, And in spirit we're with them. They're fighting our battles, And proving their worth. They won't all get medals They won't all get mention, But they're all British soldiers, The salt of the earth. SALUTE THE SOLDIER Let us Salute the Soldier by going without just a little more, by giving up just a little more, and by saving even more, not only during "Salute" weeks, but all the time 182 The Salt of the Earth Issued by the National Savings Committee.
