We had crossed in a transport from Gotham To the land that the papers call France. We had luiddied together in any old weather, Together we'd taken our chance. And many a time in our hiking When I was unable to crawl. They carried the pack that was .slung on my back With never a kick at all. Uujrjrcd, they were, tough and sturdy Though maybe they never would shine i Iu a high-brow cafe on the rue do I'.roadway, They were genuine buddies of mine. And now that their duty is finished The thought that is left to console Is: though they were rough, they were made of real stuff And each of them harbored a sole. So thus, when the snow fell this morning And keen as a whip was the air. My buddies checked in to a fat sergeant's grin,' Who issued me then a new pair. Pvt. John I. K. Uriggs, A. 1". O. 7'J.'..
