"Dead Horse Corner Gazette" Poet Defends First Contingent. In reply to certain criticisms of ; the First Canadian Contingent which appeared in the Canadian press, one of the "first liners" wrote for the "Dead Horse Corner Gazette," a trench newspaper of the contingent, the folowing poem: "You say that the First Contingent Are bums and rotters and snides; You say that we sullied your honor, And a whole lot more besides. We are probably all that you call us, But you must admit we're men, So I smile when I hear you bragging For we fought at St. Julien. "We were a bit wild and roguish, Though a soldier isn't a lamb, And we drank and squandered our money And none of us cared a damn. So you thought us as black as paint- ed, But you'll change your opinion . when You meet the souls of the Germans Who died at St. Julien. » "When lust of you're learnt the battle, When your bravest and best are gone, When seventy per cent. are stricken, And the rest keep fighting on-- You cease to mind the ravings Of an editorial pen, When you've tasted the blood and slaughter At a fight like St, Julien. "For though the First Contingent Are bums and rotters and snides, The dregs of a nation's manhood, And a whole lot else besides; Though we ruined your reputation And blackened your name, but then-- We held the line for the Empire At the fight at St, Julien."
