I have pronounced Belleau Wood as Bully Wood as that is what the soldiers called as they could not manage French names :lol:

I'm reminded of the catchphase "Old soldiers never die". However, in this case nor do they "simply fade away".

Section 17 - The Gentlemen of Oxford

https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/greatpoemsworldwar_13_various_128kb.mp3
2.28

As a long time resident of Oxford this poem has many local resonances for me. I have seen the war memorial at Christ Church College and it has an awful lot of names on it.
