The China Convoy: Looking back, looking forward
In the last of his series of reflections on the FAU’s China Convoy, David Brough considers the legacy of their experiences
The Convoy’s thinning out along the road; Some of the best have left us on the way – We who remain must lift a growing load Of pain and grief as we go through the day. When our own journeys end we cannot say; We only know we never can repay The debt of love to others which we owed. All we can do is travel on and pray That when we leave this earthly road at last We’ll join the Convoy in another land South of the clouds where all that’s dark has passed And once again we’ll shake a comrade’s hand No longer puzzled members of a cast Acting a plot we do not understand. David Morris, FAU China Convoy 1942-44
