CHAPTER IX
UP THE LINE
Often in those days of digging,
Days of weary treks up country,
Days of strenuous manœuvres,
Came the listless private soldiers,
Came the corporals and the sergeants,
Spoke a work with Tiadatha,
Saying, “What about this war, sir?
Do you think we’ll ever find it,
Ever see a Boche or Bulgar,
