  • 1918 April, 'R', An elegy on my dugout, when it was done in, published in Four Whistles by D Company of the Scottish Officer Cadet Battalion, quoted in 2013 by Graham Seal in The Soldiers' Press: Trench Journals in the First World War (→ISBN):
    What shall I do? / My poor old dug-out is napoo. / I built it all, and by myself, / I fitted it with tea and shelf, / And two tea-cups, one tin, one delf, / And a wee stove, complete with flue[.]
