P 0. 10 Private Hughes also sends the folTowing poem. The Home Coming From the squelching mud of Flanders, From the Chateau-Thierry whent, From the shattered Halles Ypres, From where scarpe Escant meet, From the shell-strewn slopes of Verdun Comes the tramp of marching feet; For the boys are marching home. ¥e who sat in the starlight < When the light of home was gone. ‘Who wearily watched and waited ‘TiM the day when war was done. What will ye think on that day

When they all come buck who c And the boy you sent with a mother‘s | tears. (Returns, but returns a man, | Browned by the sums of forcign climes With lines of fate in his face. The lines of men who have fought: with men I In many a fearful pace. I Men who have looked old Death in the face. | And laughed as he passed them by. | But where is the boy 1 gave to you?. 1 can hear the mothers ery. Oh Mother! Thy son will come to thee Tempered and tired like steel, In the flaming fire of the Hell of war Where the charging legiuns reel. {Where the rocket gleams on the Bay1 onet | Where it is not stained with red. ‘And the fitful glare of the firey glare |Lights up the face of the dead. iHe bas seen men die with smiles on their lips That the nations might be free. He has charstel the for with his blood on fire ‘And has seen the foeman flee. And mother, the boy who has passed through Hell Can be no longer a boy. |For the ore of men in that furnace tried . (Is metal without alloy. | And to those whose sons have tarried | awhile Aslcep in their Mother Earth, Whose brave young souls have barred the foe From the land that gove them birth. 1 say to them weep, for weep they must But hold up their heads as they can. [For the boy they gave at the nation‘s call Hai gone to his rest a Man.
