Cheerful in Verse
I was through all the fighting, commencing with the battle of Mons, until the 9th of last month, when I got wounded. This little verse will explain a lot:
I was wounded on the 9th,
Near the River Marne.
They got me in hospital on the 13th,
On the 18th they took off my arm:
A Corporal of the Durham Light Infantry.
