Turkish baths and dirty cafés,

Picture palaces and kan-kans;

Daimler cars and Leyland lorries

Barging into buffalo wagons,

French and English private soldiers

Jostling seedy Eastern brigands.

On a hill near Lembet Village

Came to rest the Royal Dudshires,

And their tents sprang up like toadstools,

All the camp was fixed by tea-time,
