THE OLE SWEATS
(ist Birmingham War Hospital, Ruberry, Birmingham)
We're goin' easy now a bit, all dressed in
blighty blue,* We've 'eld the trenches eighteen months and
copped some packets too, We've met the Boches on the Marne and fought
them on the Aisne, We broke 'em up at New Chapelle and 'ere we
are again.
The ole sweats—
All that is left of the ole sweats. More went away than are with us to-day.
Gawd ! but we miss 'em, the ole sweats.
* Hospital uniform. 25
