[Page 9]

one voice liar, so one of the boy's composed the following piece of poetry & hung it in a place where everyone could see it,

"To our Company (A) I don't think
The shells have scattered our homestead
      The guns are blazing away
We'd mortage our chances in Heaven"
      To be in Australia to-day
We knew that our homestead was settled
So away to the trenches we fled
A. Company's awfully frightened"
Were the words that a General said."
"Chorous
If that chap would only wait
Till the boys were under fire
Then he'll see that he's mistaken
And know that he's a liar,
For the boys are not afraid
And we are surprised that he
Should throw that insult at Australia
And the boys of Gallopoli"
