THE NEVER-ENDING CHASE

C. LEYSHON-WHITE
15
ANZAC

Whilst seated one day in my dug-out,

Weary and ill at ease,

I saw a gunner carefully

Scanning his sunburnt knees;

I asked him why he was searching,

And what he was looking for,

But his only reply was a long-drawn sigh

As he quietly killed one more.
