"F. C. (in) PIECES "
It took us months to build it, We wore out picks galore, * The Jap would nover hit it, Its depth five feet or more* • At last tho digging ended, Tho Captain ho got us the word, And down tho ’ole we descended, To build our new hone if we could# With mon like Hogg and Schischka, And Houlis and "Charles” for support, Tho sides went up in no time,, With monstrous labout and thought. Geo wanted to- put the roof on, An absurd request to make, For I’ll swear they don’t make dunnage, To take that monster’ weight. At lust the acme of comfort, A home for the rest of the war, It stood- there in its glory, A couple of weeks - ’no: more,)
For -the . order eerie - We* moving, And in one ghastly hour, Tha-t building'’crumbled in dust, Neath a crowbars’ frightening power#
