HILL OF HENRI CHAPELLE (Lyrics and music by Bill H. Post)
This composition was commissioned by a mother from California who also had a son buried at Henri Chapelle.

Mrs. Rockwell and this woman became acquainted due to their common loss.

They maintained that friendship throughout their remaining years.  [Play music]
1. There lies a hill just east of Flanders, Where doughboys lie who fought so well; and there they sleep beneath the crosses, While softly chimes a chapel bell.

2. winds that blow o'er lives undaunted, Respect the thousands strong who fell; And morning dawns arise in silence, Wake them not for all is well.

3. we who live must long remember, And seek the peace were brave men dwell; Could we but hear them ask the question, Is this the last Henri Chapelle?
CHORUS - Slowly

the hill of henri Chapelle --- where the free and brave men dwell ---- and helpless hands place rows of roses, where the free and the brave men dwell --- On THE HILL  OF HENRI CHAPELLE

2. Oh

3. And Pelle ---
we the people march again (Lyrics and music by Bill H. Post)
Slow March tempo with spirit

WE, THE PEOPLE MARCH AGAIN, Building a tomorrow when, peace will reign --- And we will not have marched in [vain?]
