Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs From the Trenches
N the following rhymes, which make no pretension to literary merit, I have endeavoured to portray life in and around the trenches as I have seen it during several months of personal Observation. Rejoining, as I did, my Old regiment after several years in the theatrical profession, and coming, as it were, straight from the artificial to the real, enabled me to realise more fully than ever the wonderful pluck, endurance, and. Unfailing cheerfulness Of our men. In the lines entitled The Song of the Trench I have tried to describe some of the discomforts and hardships suffered by the troops in the winter 1914-15, and which were borne by them without murmur or complaint. Truly, the men are splendid. I may mention that all the incidents described in this little volume are either facts or founded on fact; and some, too, alas Are written around those who are no longer with us.
