Description
'Farewell,' the Corporal cried, 'La BassŽe trenches!
No Cambrins for me now, no more Givenchies,
And no more bloody brickstacks---God Almighty,
I'm back again at last to dear old Blighty.'
But cushy wounds don't last a man too long,
And now, poor lad, he sings this bitter song:
'Back to La BassŽe, to the same old hell,
Givenchy, Cuinchey, Cambrin, Loos, Vermelles.'
No Cambrins for me now, no more Givenchies,
And no more bloody brickstacks---God Almighty,
I'm back again at last to dear old Blighty.'
But cushy wounds don't last a man too long,
And now, poor lad, he sings this bitter song:
'Back to La BassŽe, to the same old hell,
Givenchy, Cuinchey, Cambrin, Loos, Vermelles.'
