I Dear Mum: I've landed safe across the sea And feel as fit as Rt could be. Old England sure looks mighty good, My only holler is the want of food. If you are on leave, and wish to eat it costs tau bob,, so help me Pete. And all with which you come to grips Is their everlasting eggs and chips. II Well, Mum: I've smartened up a bit, My monkey suit is a real at. I pick 'em up, stick out my chest And show these Blokes, I'm from the West. I do my guards and down my beer And swing my arms from front to rear. Sometimes I get ted up on It. And then i swing lead a bit. I'm learning how to use the Bren. I go on night's off now and then. One thing I don't like is their schemes. They get my goat and haunt my dreams. III Last week with training I'd a peeve, And put in for a weekend leave. To London town I went on pass, it was there I met an English lass, The sights of London we did see, Then went to Lyons for our tea. But really dhe's too serious, Ma, She wants to come to Canada, She told me, Mother, sitting there I was the answer to her prayer. I asked what the wife would say, And off she went upon her way. Iv Well Mum, I'll close for lack of news, I feel I would like a snooze, Be sure and send a pair of socks, And a dollar as I'm on the rocks. S'he'll have a spree, when home I come, So Hi Ho, Silver, Goodnight, Mum. Baker; Sandra Mae, child of Mr. and Mrs. (M. Ross S'avattge; John Mule drew, ,child of 'Mr. and (Mrs. James iM. Scott.
