By John Hargrave
("White Fox" of "The Scout ")
While Serving With The 32nd Field Ambulance, X Division, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, During The Great War
To MINOBI
We played at Ali Baba, On a green linoleum floor; Now we camp near Lala Baba, By the blue Aegean shore.
We sailed the good ship Argus, Behind the studio door; Now we try to play at "Heroes" By the blue Aegean shore.
We played at lonely Crusoe, In a pink print pinafore; Now we live like lonely Crusoe, By the blue Aegean shore.
We used to call for "Mummy," In nursery days of yore; And still we dream of Mother, By the blue Aegean shore.
While you are having holidays, With hikes and camps galore; We are patching sick and wounded, By the blue Aegean shore.
