Scratched-Out Epitaph

...Aust...
...for our homeland...

(The name has been gouged out. Beneath it, someone has carved a new message.)

Nothing.
No gold teeth, no rings, not even a single coin.
Soldiers' graves aren't worth the trouble.
Don't waste your time.

(Further down, written in a different handwriting)

This is our turf.
If there's digging to be done, we do it.
