Returning from patrol along the Limpopo and Northern Transvaal (for the Boers had not obliged by trekking north as anticipated) on the long dry road back to Bulawayo, our regiment wit waxed eloquent: We searched every hill and kopje, aye and all along the spruits, But never a Boer we sees at all so divil a wan we shoots, And we walked to save our breeches till we wore out all our boots, And every now and then we washed our faces.
