SALONIQUE
“EEP” of Badsey – better known we believe in that district as Ernest – sends us the following verses from Salonica, where he says, he and his comrades are quite happy and smiling:
There’s a little place out East called Salonique,
Where they’re sending British Tommies every week
When you view it from the sea
It’s a fine sight I’ll agree
And you think you’ll have a spree at Salonique.
When you’re dumped upon the quay at Salonique,
And the smell that meets you there seems to speak.

To the Editor of the “Journal & Advertiser”
Sir
Since your statement in the last issue, I have, on behalf of committee, much pleasure in stating that, owing to unlooked-for subscriptions coming in, we are now in a position to hand over to the local boys (who number for the three parishes about 200) the sum of £164. The committee are at once taking steps to distribute the money to the lads serving their country. I am pleased to say the above showed a clear balance sheet, as expenses were nil.
