How many of you remember these Army issues? Bombs from Heaven One morning in April sometime around eight, At Washingdale farm on Kincaldrum estate, Whilst the farmer and his men, were in the midst o’ a thrash, Eight bombs dropped from heaven wi’ a terrible crash. They fell all around them, to left, and to right, Smashing and splintering - an alarming sight. They crashed through the roofs and tore up the ground, One bomb is still missing and cannot be found. They proved to be smoke bombs, be that as it may, They were missiles of death, as they sped on their way, By a stroke of good fortune, those bombs did not harm, The men at their work upon Washingdale farm. 49 But no one will remember this one!
