Sorting the files in one of the strong-rooms in their St. George's-terrace office recently, an old-established firm of chartered accountants found a type-written document, headed "The Battle of Minderoo." The paper is yellow and stained with age, and members and staff of the firm have no idea as to how the document got into the strongroom nor what its relationship is to any person with whom the firm had business dealings. The first portion consists of verse and the second and third seem to be notes on which the author proposed to compose further verse. It is reprinted here-under as it is typed. Perhaps some reader may be able to throw some light on its mysterious authorship.
