  Frudge and slip on the shell holes lip, & fall in the clinging Mud

  Steady in front, go steady! Close up there! Mind the wire!

  Double behind where the pathways wind!Jump clear of the ditch, jump ...

  Lost touch at the back? Oh, halt in front! a& Luch when the Shells come near

  Carrying parties all night long, All day in the a muddy trench,

  With your feet in the wwet, and you head in the rain and the sodden Khaki's stench!

  Then over the rop in the morning, and ... all you can

  This is the work that wins the war.

  The Work of the "Infantryman".
