Notes on soldier.

There’s a dear little town in England place where I was born.
I can see my brothers and sisters,
Where I’ve slept, played and sworn
But, now in a land across the sea,
With my rifle, bayonet and pack,
I will fight till the last for my country
And try to keep the enemy back.

I have marched, I have slept, on the roadside.
I had comrades, I no more shall see.
But, if I live to get back to dear Old Ramsey,
How happy, how pleased, I shall be.

This moving little poem was sent during the 1914-18 War to Mrs. E. SMITH of Oaklands Avenue, Wistow, by her brother Ted – Private Edward BAKER was serving in the Bedfordshire Regt.

THE REST IS UP TO YOU.

We have heard our country calling, And we have shouldered each our arms.

When the bugles rang out wildly, From the hillsides and the farms.

We are fighting to the finish, We are going to see it through.

We will do our best in battle, But the rest is up to you.

We have donned the khaki breeches, We have picked up belt and gun.

In the cause of right and freedom, We’ll no tyrant fear or shun.

We have left you for a reason, While we teach the Hun whose who.

Leave our homes, friends and loved ones, And that’s where it’s up to you.

There’ll be hearts all torn and broken, With the anguish and the gain.

For the loved ones lost forever, For the boys in battle slain.

And we Tommies will be fighting, Far across the ocean blue.

We’ll need food, clothes, ammunitions, That’s the work that’s up to you.

With the slackers and the traitor, Who would stab us in the back.

For our hands are surely busy, Setting William off his track.

We’ve a great big job before us, That is everybody’s view.

Stand behind us in the struggle, It’s the thing we ask of you.

So put strikes far from you, Join with willing heart and hand.

Till again the gentle peace dove, Shall wing forth o’er every land.

Let your effords be unceasing, For the cause is grand and true.

Then we’ll not be disappointed, With the jobs we left for you.
