Notes

  • Editor's note:

    'A letter comes from France, signed Stan. Cocking. The writer sends some verses (which follow), and says:

    "Is the enclosed (verse) any use to you? It is a close paraphrase of Boake's 'Where the Dead Men Lie', but I have tried to put a war touch to it...May I ask in return that some friend of your column send me the Worker each week after the home has done with it? The Bulletin reaches the boys regularly, but we rarely see the good old Labor weekly..." '
