IRISH IN HIGHLAND BRIGADE.

The following verses were sent from the-front in France to the .Dundalk Democrat, Dundalk, Louth, Ireland: Come listen to bib, yol who seek for our aid, While I, read you some names of the

Highland Brigade, Who. went to the front all the Gert •": ■ mans to kill—

A batch of whose wounded are now at Slobhill. * Von will find on the list an O'Malley and Boyle, , A Murphy, a Kelly, a Reilly and

Doyle, A Casey, a Kearney, O'Rourke and 11 (

All strapping young Highlanders,

every man. There are Rooneys, and Doghertys

there by the score. And Gallaghers too, can be had in

• galore, While Muldoons and O'Connors can also Be had : l: '":\ ■'"'■[ "'!'. : Troth the old Boy' himself 'could not beat such a squad,. And, hedad, there is piper o'R : ordan

from Cork, The Skirll of whose pipes could be

heard in \ew York, And Meagher, who plays the big drum in grand style. But he never slept in the Shire of A r gyle. There's O'Driscoll, a bandsman, and Pipe Major Foy, A Doran, M'Loughlin, M'Ginn and Molloy, An O'Lcary and Duggan, M'Bride and M'Gill,

All singing and dancing away in Slobhill. You will find on the list a Delaney and Burks, A Carroll, a Clancy, O'Tbole and MacGuirk, A Foley, a Walsh, a Maguire and a Quin, All pledged to assemble one day in Berlin. There's Gunner O'Dornell and Sergeant M'Call, Who both out the Tartans in old Donegal And Barney M'Cluskey, whose hair isn't dry, But swears lie was born in the island of Skve. It would do your heart good to see Paddy M'Oeo, The calves of whose legs are as thick as a tree. And big Andy Doolan, he comes from Strahane, Has his wee doch an cloris whenever ho can. So I think that Britain need not fear the Huns With such Highland soldiers to handle her guns.
