A fragmentary reminiscence blends Kipling’s Tommy with wartime welfare talk and slang. It recalls soldiers in France, public house scenes, and banter about Redcoats, beer, and band music, ending with a curt acknowledgment to Mr Atkins.
The lines echo a song about soldiers and civilians, referencing Tommy and Atkin, the troopship tide, special trains, and mock uniforms. It contrasts fanfare with harsh realities, noting soldiers are not plaster saints and in barracks the brave image contrasts with plain life.
A poem style wartime verse decries rationing and class conflict. It voices soldiers and civilians demanding fair food, schools, tires, and respect. The widow’s uniform is defended as honorable, while critics urge harsh treatment of the brave.

A Jameyson suffered painful injuries Thursday night while driving home from the K C Excursion. His wife and two year old grandson John Barrett were with him when the horse became unruly on a hill near the Wade home, striking Jameyson with its heels. He sustained a fractured bone in his right hand and his grandson endured a dislocated finger and a bruised hand, while Jameyson and the child avoided further injury. The driver hitched the horse at the Maier barn and may have forgotten the britchen strap. The Bellevue Leader reports the incident.
