From the spring till autumn of 1916 the 2nd and
the 3rd battalions of Latvian Riflemen together with
Russian units were defending small fortifications on
the left bank of the Daugava river – there was the enemy
in front, the river in back and the open, rocky field on
both sides. Germans attacked with poison gas and
Riflemen took a heavy toll therefore the place
had been called – Death Island.
Tumši tek Daugaviņa
Smagus, melnus viļņus veļ
Lielgabalu dobjus dārdus
No viņa krasta pāri ceļ
Tur Nāves salas uguns laukā
Lodes tikai dziesmas dzied
Un indes gāzēm piepildīti
Šāviņi cērt elpu ciet
Bet ne jau raud un gaužas streļķi
Zem granātuguns tie jautri smej
Jo zina droši, par taisnu lietu
Tie savas asinis te lej
