Hi! Harry! halt a breath and tell a comrade just a thing or two

It's long ago since I was there. I and a bullet from Fair Oaks

And mother, does she fade at all? or does she seem to pine?

How this pipe chokes! Where did you see her?
Slide 9
A funeral! who, Harry? How you shake and stare
Slide 10
What ails you, Hal? Is this a hoax?

I said all well, old comrade -- true -- I say all well

For He knows best, who takes the young ones in His arms

Notes
The poem was originally about the American Civil War, and its hijacking as 'a story of the South African War' is probably Bamforth's initiative.
