From the Archie Wills fonds, The Ypes Salient by R.N. Clements, M.C.:
...In that sea of mud you can feel your blood go cold as you shake with fright / And among the dead you raise your head to stand to your post to fight / So few survive and are still alive / when at last relief breaks through / And the press reports all quiet / as they bury the lads they knew ...
