A/N: I'd honestly reccomend to listen to the song even if metal isn't your cup of tea as this song is a lovely piano-based piece for those why prefer softer, calmer tones.

Leslie 'Bull' Allan was an Australian strecher bearer who served in the Pacific, and his actions on Mount Tambu in New Guinea is something quite extraordinary.

During one day at the front he ran straight into enemy fire alone, time after time to pick up wounded American soliders.

12 times he went up the hill, and 12 times he came down with a wounded allied solider on his shoulder. For this selfless act he was awarded with the US Silver Star.

Sometimes war is killing

Sometimes it's saving lives

It's the judgement of faith

It's nothing that man can dictate

Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu

Saved his brothers in arms

when aura fallen through

There and back again

Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them off one by one

There and back again

Bullets all around

All of the men he carried away

Twelve men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay

As he carried them away

Sometimes war is killing

Sometimes it's saving lives

From Australians shore

Bull Allen went to war

Sometimes war is saving

Sometimes it's taking lives

Thanks to one single man

A dozen more survived

There and back again

Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them off one by one

There and back again

Bullets all around

All of the men he carried away

Twelve men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay

As he carried them away

Some men return from a war in a band

He yet the world knows their story

Others return are willing ti brand

alive and a humble at heart

Nooooooo

There and back again

Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them off one by one

There and back again

Bullets all around

All of the men he carried away

Twelve men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay

As he carried them away

 Exact words from the earbook - I own nothing. I'd honestly reccomend to listen to the song even if metal isn't your cup of tea as this song is a lovely piano-based piece for those why prefer softer, calmer tones.
