Regimental Sgt. Major c. r. A.
Banks Of the SO5th Pioneer Infantry
writes the following little poem en-
titled The Souvenir:
l have no German helmet.
No watch. ring or an iron cross,
AlJho to the front | was sent,
Perhaps l should regret my loss.
I did not see the Fatherland
Nor cross the River Rhine,
1 fought until l could not stand
And did my best while on the line.
not one trinket have l to show
From the cold, bloody battle field,
What good are they, I'd like to know,
Would they a wounded heart heal?
Gifts will not make a sad soul sing,
Nor give happiness at a glance,
The only souvenir l bring
rs a mothers son from France.
sgt. Banks writes that they hope to
return home in time to play tennis,
also that the sun is one source OF
pleasure to the boys. He wishes to be
remembered by his many friends.

THE REAL HIKE.
By Sergt. Leonard r. Jackson,

By Sergt. Leonard r. Jackson,
Co. H, Sl5th Pioneer Inf. Reg.
We have all heard of Walker Weston,
For he was the demon OF the road,
But he would have never made a
record
Had he pulled a heavy load.
Now l am an honest, faithful soldier,
They may call me Rookie Jack,
Bat I'd like to see the old boys record
With a pack upon his back.
We have heard of General Sherman
And his march down to the sea,
I am sure his men were weary,
Just as tired as they could be.
But Sherman's men were little bur
dened,
For they marched in perfect line,
For there is no use to pack men heavy
IN the Land of Summer Time.
Hike and pike are close related;
/ will tell you why l know:
7 hiked all the way from a camp called
Merritt,
DO"A lLt pine " IAG EAlplllt SllOlC.
n hardened soldier would forget it,
Should he take a stroll like that,
But that was the first time / had
hustled
With a real pack upon my back.
When your bumpie bumps against you
And you curse and stumble on,
When your feet are two stone bruises,
How you will wish you were at
home.
When weak men fall along the way
side,
Like battle fields with dead are
strewn;
When strong and sturdy are barely
moving,
Bowed down, but travelling on.
When your eyes play mean tricks on
you,
Floating pork-chops you can see;
When you find your canteen empty,
When you tremble at the knee,
the old-timers don't think it funny,
And you may call it what you like,
But the Army knows that I'm not
joking
