Our Route To Victory
The sun is hidden below the
With darkness covering the sea.
The Japanese in foxholes,
And snipers concealed in trees.
The Doughboys with Australians
Will destroy them one by (me,
Their tommy guns quite loaded
To defeat the Rising Sons.
With fleets of heroes flying
Quite swiftly through the air,
Their acridity with bombing
Destroy our enemies' snare.
With altitude in fighting planes
They attack our great Allies,
Our Heroic sons with deadly guns
Blast them from the skies.
We at home are fighting hard
For your complete supply,
Heroic fighting men like you
Will not let freedom die.
—by J. N. Parker.

join the volley ball team from
our department and enjoy a good
winter-time sport
