We thought that we were just the boys, who'd lick old Bill the Kaiser But after several hot old strafes, believe the we are wiser, And now we are quite humbled to our several differeut fates. - Which are known among the boys as being Canada or .]'early Gates. • We fought some war in England on a so- called I•Ianldey plain For one, whole year we struggled thru, in stud, and sand and rain But it grew too quiet for us, our battle -cry was "France" Although we'd take it on again if we only had a chance But our King and Country need us, so• we are here to stay And well beat old Bill the Kaiser, if it takes till Judgement Day. W. H. Baa,NDON Note;—The feeling described in the first, few lines must not be looked upon as dowhearted as it is far from being such. There are times when things seem very blue, and during these times one gets "fed up," and it was during such a time that these few verses were composed, due to a severe chilling causing the thermometer to register the morale as " very low," from casualties Inflicted.
