"Australia will be There."
THE ROLL-CALL.
We have tended the toll—we have paid the price;
We have braved, and battled, and bled;
And set in the shrine of our "brothers-in-arms,"
Are the names of Australia's dead!
We have given our share of the grist that goes
To grind in the War God's mill;
But every place that another has left,
Is a place that Y0U can fill!


Oh! Some were killed in the open boats,
Before they had time to land;
And some were killed in the rally and rush
Across the sloping sand;
But whether they died in the breaking surf,
Or whether they died on the hill,
Yet every gap in the ranks this day,
is a gap that Y0U can fill!


You scan the scroll of our sacrifice;
You hope that list will end
Ere you feel the throb that tears at your throat
As you say, "He was my friend!"
And it's, "Poor old Bob! I knew him well!"
Or, "Bill? My God! Not Bill!"
But every place that a pal has left,
is a place that Y0U can fill.


Do you remember the day they left-
The day they passed through town?
Their bayonets glanced liked a spray of steel,
O'er a river of rolling brown.
And now in that same old town to-day
There are "slackers" who are "slacking"still-
All blind to the fact that the place that's left
is a place they've GOT to fill!


The far-off note of a bugle-call,
Or the pulse of a distant drum,
Tell not the tale of the men who've gone,
But the men who've GOT to come!
Oh! Duty is calling, and Vengeance is calling
Their cry will never be stilled
Till the last of the gaps in Australia's ranks
By Australia’s sons are filled!

for George Garcie Nov 10/19
 

May 1919.
GEHAZI.

by
MR. RUDYARD KIPLING.
Whence comest then, Gehazi,
So reverend to behold.
In scarlet and in ermines
And chain of England's gold?
From following after Naaman
To tell him all is well,
Whereby my seal has made me
A Judge in Israel.
 

Well done, well done, Gehazi,
Stretch forth thy ready hand.
Thou barely 'scxaped from judgment,
Take oath to judge the land.
Unswayed by gift of money
Or privy bribe more base,
Of knowledge which is profit
In any market place.


Search out and probe, Gehazi,
As thou of all canst try,
The truthful, well-weighed answer
That tells the blacker lie;
The loud, uneasy virtue,
The anger feigned at will,
To overbear a witness
and make the Court keep still.


Take order now, Gehazi,
That no man talk aside
In secret with the judges
The while his case is tried,
Lest he should show them reason
To keep the matter hid,
And subtly lead the questions
Away from what he did.


Thou mirror of uprightness
That ails thee at thy vows
What means the risen whiteness
Of skin between thy brows?
The boils that shine and burrow
The sores that slough and bleed -
the leprosy of Naaman
On thee and all thy seed?
Stand up, stand up, Gehazi,
Draw close thy robe and go,
Gehazi, Judge in Israel,

A leper white as snow!
 

 

These are two of the actual
map reports brought in to 4th
Aust. Div. H.Q. by Contact
Plane, about 5.10 a.m. on
July 4/1918 – (Hamel) showing
positions reached by our troops.
