• Notes

  Some verses from Private George William Cotterill, 11th Battalion (Western Australia), a 20-year-old engine cleaner from Perth, probably conveys the feelings of most Australians who served through that winter on the Somme: What is this slimy, dismal hole, Where oft I’m lurking like a mole? And cursing Germans heart and soul? My Dug-out! Where is it-that beneath the floor, The water’s rising more and more, And where my roof’s a broken door/ My Dug-out! Where is it that I try to sleep, Betwixt alarms, then up I leap And dash thro’ water four foot deep? My Dug-out! Cotterill, in Walter Belford, Legs-Eleven, Being the Story of the 11th Battalion (AIF) in the Great War of 1914-1918, Perth, 1940, p.360 Source: http://www.ww1westernfront.gov.au/flers/somme-winter.html
