Each day a repetition of the previous edition,
Unles when one side found something more vile to perpetrate,
Our finest conviction was this terrible afliction
Would chastise all humanity before t'would terminate.
The most tragic situation has its humerous implication
You will see amusing incidents impossible in a town.
As during intensive gunning, we saw our haughty CO running
From his private convenience with his trousers hanging down.
Then one night upon the Vardar conditions were much harder,
Preparations were in progress for a final allout go.
When a vicious old mosquito attacked my lignumvitae
Milignant Leasions. Diagnosis of the regiments M.O.
Tetotally protracted, temperature being unabated.
They decided twould be better to transport me down the line,
Very soon I had the pleasure, to be lying at my leasure
In the 42nd General, being treated with quinine.
The place exhilerating and the nurses captivating
Which combination soon restored complete vitality,
Then official information of enemy capitulation
Produced a feeling relative to Joviality.
Phisical deterioration and long service in that station
Gave us preferential treatment when repatriation came
And transport by land and water took us from that place of slaughter
Where animals and humans differ only by their name.
The coach of my appointment, without comfort or refinement
Was so well ventilated that the sun and rain came through
Its original designation was for bovine transportation
And when loaded to capacity it held just thirty two.
