Hello all,
While transcribing the 1944-45 diary of a CAC trooper this past fall I came across a nearly invisible entry on the very last page. Written in pencil and rubbing on the inside back cover, the markings are now extremely faint. However, after scanning this page all evening I believe I have made out most of the page and it seems to be some sort of parody of the "Lord's prayer". Has anybody come across this verse before, or did my trooper write it himself in a bored moment? Here is what I can make out so far, parenthesis are my best guess, asterisks are complete invisibles: Our (Prime) Minister (Who) art in Ottawa King be thy name (W)*** T******* come Thy will be done in Ottawa As it is in Regina (Give) us this day our deferred pay And forgive us an AWOL As we (forgive) the Fifth ***** That striketh against us And led us not into (Harm) But deliver us from the Huns For this is the **** power The Liberty and War Loans (For)ever and ever What a (war) Perhaps somebody here recognizes this? Hope you can help. Thanks. Bill. |
