This four line poem appeared in Smith's Weekly in May 1937 in an item titled 'Digger Poets'. It was evidently written on a pylon on a wharf at Le Havre at the end of World War I and was intended as a Digger's farewell to France:
'Land of chats [fleas] and diarrhoea, Muddy streets and watery beer, The Froggies' heaven, the Diggers' hell, B- country, fare thee well!'
