“Christmas-"Somewhere!” BULLY an' biscuits, an' chunks o' cheese! What care we for the likes o' these ! Buttered "Rootie " an' jam that's pink, An' this is CHRISTMAS-I don't think ! Chicken an' dumplin', hame-made cake (This is the "Jinkies" an' no mistake). Allez! cook, with your "Leeky " soups, "This is the stuff to give the Troops!" Let's commune with a Wild Woodbine, Over our dear ones, yours and mine, Look at Life through the curling smoke, And give God thanks for the hameland folk. Rain an' slush and a world o' mire (Draw in close round the old wood fire); Set your teeth in the "Blighty " chuck, And "Over the Top" wi' the best o' luck. N. M.”

Followed by a personal message “From George to Mary and mother”.
