| The following lines are from one
of our young men, who is now doing
service in France, and has written
some interesting letters home. In
lone of these letters he enclosed these
lines, which will be of interest to his
many friends here:
| SERVICE OF THE WAR
When this cruel war is over and the
boys go marching home,
I'm afraid I'll be an outcast and for
| ever have to roam;
When their chevrons they exhibit and
| their service stripes Of gold,
And they tell admiring lasses of their
| doughty deeds and bold,
How l was put there in the service of
the rear.
For I'm an S. o. R. boy, also an S.
| o. L.
I've never pulled trigger or sent a
| Boche to hell,
/ never saw a dugout, in fact was
| never there,
For / performed my duty in the SER
vice of the rear.
When we passed that glorious Statue
that our Liberties uphold,
We looked forward to the future with
| ardent spirits bold,
We prated on Democracy and the
| freedom of the seas,
And how we'd get the Kaiser and
bring him to his knees,
How we'd face German legfons with
out a trace of fear,
But also we had not reckoned with
l. the service of the rear.
For I'm an S. o. R. boy and S. o. L.
never saw a battle nor heard a
screaming shell,
The only Hun / ever saw was a pris-
oner of degree
A working just as / was in the SER
| vice of the rear.
I've done some provost duty, took a
turn in the work house,
l hit up the rocks at midnight
when the front was short of
hay,
I've set up locomotives and built a
mile Of track;
Chopped wood and dug some bitches
7 just to keep from getting
slack Il f..
But though I've done my duty as l
saw it straight and clear;
l shall never get a medal in the SER
vice of the rear.
For I'm an S. o. r. boy, also an S.
| o. L.,
But I've tried to do my duty and
hope / done it we'll,
And when the war is over there's one
wish that l hold dear
That they'll let me kick the Kaiser in
the service of the rear.
