Frarce)
The battle ragged many hills,
Red fire lit up the woods about
Grim monsters hurled their leaden pills
And warriors charged with thrilling shout.
Strewn on the plains OF conquest lay
Torn bodies. severed arms and legs;
The cook pursued his peaceful way
And kept on cooking ham and eggs
From distant posts the Generals sent
Their orders through the sizzling air.
Couriers swift motors went
Here, %onder there cverywhcre!
Tanks plunged into the thickest fight
Machine gun nests were hunted down:
Inc cook kept on with all his might
Making the mess potatoes brown!
AT zero hour, these gave hand
To those called out to scale the Ton
And bravely into no mans land"
The Yanks poured with their steel and mon,
And all the while savory smell
Arose from where the cook went through
HIS motions In that ringing hell
Absorbed in fixing up a stew.
Ana when the history shall he writ
" those who served their country well,
Let writer's make the most Of it
PIE wreaths upon the brave who fell;
But in our mind, figure stands
Magnificent in all the row,
'Tis he who with his foury hands
Ignores the shells and cooks the chow.
