This print depicts Sapper Hackett VC, his citation is included on the reverse

On through the hail of slaughter,
Where gallant comrades fall,
Where blood is poured like water,
They drive the trickling ball.
The fear of death before them,
Is but an empty name;
True to the land that bore them,
The SURREYS played the game.

Stretcher bearers recovering the fallen....
