THE RAID ON LONDON
A Modern Chronicle by Private PAT RIOT
T rooper Sing, of the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, on the right, was said to
have sniped his two hundredth Turk.
But his name and fame had not spread all around the lines, for a Staff
Officer, in visiting the snipers of Quinn’s Post, came upon a Light
Horseman who, very justifiably, was priding himself upon having definitely
hit twelve of the enemy.
“Did you hear that fellow Sing on the right of the line——” began the
Staff Officer.
“Well, sir, they don’t sing in front of me,” put in the Quinn’s Post man
promptly. “They’re too b—— well frightened!”

WHEN IT’S ALL OVER....
We were finished with the fightin’, we were finished with the war,
And the dove of peace looked healthier than e’er she did before;
For the Allies put the acid on the Hohenzollern crowd,
And they piled the costs on William when they knew they had him cowed.
But we didn’t care a cussword if his soul were saved or sold;
We were bound for home and beauty, and the wanderlust was cold.
Yes, we dream of home and Mother, and of Dad and Sister May,
And the girls who used to know us, waitin’ half a world away;
And we’re wantin’ but to find them just the same and nothin’ more—
Just the same old dear old home-folks that we knew before the war.
And I’m hoping they’ll be looking for the boy that used to be,
Not a hero with a halo for the crowd to come and see.
Oh! I’ve snarled to read the phrases that the writers coined for us—
“Deathless heroes—lasting glory,” and the other foolish fuss;
For we’re simple sinful soldiers, and we’re often rude and rough,
And our characters ain’t altered since we donned the khaki stuff.
(“Smithy” terms this “the outpourin’s of an overburdened soul,”
But I’d like to stuff a blanket in that long-offendin’ hole.)
I’ve a grouch on jingo writers and the poets and them all,
Who have placed us common persons on a public pedestal;
Will they dust our coats and speak to us and help us when we fall,
Or paste a different label on us—something very small?
It’s their fault I’m entertaining just a tiny little dread
That me friends may want a hero with a halo round his head.

SPECIAL A. & N. Z. A. C. ORDERS
The following are some of the “special orders” issued on notable occasions
to the officers and men of the A. & N. Z. Army Corps.
I. THE LANDING
SPECIAL ORDER
B G S I H , G.C.B., D.S.O., A.D.C.
Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.
G H ,
Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.
September 7, 1915.
The Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, desires
formally to record the fine feat of arms achieved by the troops under the
command of Lieutenant-General Sir W. R. Birdwood during the battle of
Sari Bair.
The fervent desire of all ranks to close with the enemy, the impetuosity of
their onset and the steadfast valour with which they maintained the long
struggle, these will surely make appeal to their fellow-countrymen all over
the world.
The gallant capture of the almost impregnable Lone Pine trenches by the
Australian Division, and the equally gallant defence of the position against
repeated counter-attacks are exploits which will live in history. The
determined assaults carried out from other parts of the Australian Division’s
line were also of inestimable service to the whole force, preventing as they
did the movement of large bodies of reinforcements to the northern flank.
The troops under the command of Major-General Sir A. J. Godley, and
particularly the New Zealand and Australian Division, were called upon to
carry out one of the most difficult military operations that has ever been
attempted—a night march and assault by several columns in intricate
mountainous country, strongly entrenched, and held by a numerous and
determined enemy. Their brilliant conduct during this operation and the
success they achieved have won for them a reputation as soldiers of whom
any country must be proud.
To the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, therefore, and to those
who were associated with that famous Corps in the battle of Sari Bair—the
Maoris, Sikhs, Gurkhas, and the new troops of the 10th and 13th Divisions
from the Old Country—Sir Ian Hamilton tenders his appreciation of their
efforts, his admiration of their gallantry, and his thanks for their
achievements. It is an honour to command a force which numbers such men
as these in its ranks, and it is the Commander-in-Chief’s high privilege to
acknowledge that honour.
W. P. B ,
Major-General,
Chief of the General Staff.
