7) 26th September 1917 Pte. J. Reardon - Malden Red Cross Hospital, New
Malden Surrey - Twinkle, twinkle, Wondrous Star, Planet ship of airy war, As
you catch the sunset glow, Frightening all the world below. Now the
lamps are all turned down, In the street of London town, You must come, with
wild delight, Dropping bombs throughout the night. While so far above
you fly, Like a sausage in the sky, Many a traveller in the dark, Make an
unpolite remark. Twinkle, twinkle, Zeppelin, You have flown from far
B? Still I doubt (I say it plain) if you will ever get back again. The
best wishes to Nurse A. E. Young
8) L/C E. Pleece? 2th Batt. M. G. C. Clipstone Camp - Behold we know not

1) 13th January 1918 W. J. Stevenson, Clipstone Military Hospital -
"Not in War Time" No feather beds to sleep on, as we had before the war, No
dainty hand at eight a.m. to tap upon the door; No girlish voice to whisper
"It has just turned eight o'clock!" No searching for the key - to find
you've left it in the lock! No girl to bring ones water just as
sweetly as can be, and ask you most politely "Would you take a cup of tea?"
No boots all nicely polished standing by the bedroom door, No kiss from some
sweet dainty miss, when saying "au revoir!" No rushing to the 'private
bar' the barmaid fair to see; a pick-me-up, another kiss, as easy as can be;
No half an hours pleasant walk - to stretch ones weary legs: then back to
breakfast - ten to nine - some lovely ham and eggs! No rushing out to get a
shave, and pack your gladstone bag, No kissing all the girls goodbye, then
light a scented fag; No rushing to the station with your labour all in vain
- To find your watch - ten minutes show - has made you miss your train
2) 16th August 1918 ?? - What all soldiers are when they come to
Clipstone Camp - Fed up!

Stuck - A Lonely Spot
6) 11th December 1917 L/Cpl. E. Cresswell, 10/11th H.L.I. Clipstone
Camp - For Women Only. Man wants but little here below, He isn't hard to
please, But woman, bless her little heart, Wants everything she sees.
7) 15th December 1917 Pte. T. Wilson, Clipstone Camp - I dream of thee
by night love, I dream of thee by day, That God may shield thee from all
harm, Is all I hope and pray. When you get married, its no use to
fret, For when you get married you deserve all you get. With best
wishes to Nurse Young.

5) 15th December 1917 A. H. T. - "Time and Change" Things may come,
Things may go, But time goes on forever. Today things are changed, Everyone
has to be His or Her's own Master; But Tommy in the Trenches, is one of
England old Chaps; He a Hero to our glorious England, while he keeps the
Huns away. He never tired & never sighs, of things that ought not to be; But
thinks - and never forget the Great Kindnesses which those Sisters' - Nurses
of the Hospital Wards has shown & done for Him. His one great wish - is that
England will Live as Free as she ever did.

the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone, With many thanks for
your kindness. J. P.

Though war may shake the mighty thrones of kings, Though nations tremble
'neath the tramp of feet; Untroubled still the springtime throstle sings,
And the wild rose in the hedge still blooms as sweet.
5) A. Naylor. 4th D. of W. - Simple Truths. An existence without its
