"DISMISS!"
The heavens were dark, the wind blow with a will, And the bay smelt of time-expired blostery, When we wearily wended our way to our drill On a tram, as we hadn't all motors,

To give "B" the position of honour:
So the Company Officer broke down and cried- And our marker's 3rd stripe is a gonder,
"B" Company drilled and at times they look five- Tho' their step and their dressing were rummy..... While the "A" men extended, quite slow, înto line And asch thankfully dropped on his t-iña.

From the lips of our gallant Commander,
•

We shall stop there and drown at attention.
