208 Ubique means the dancing plain that changes rocks to Boers.

Ubique means the mirage again an' shellin' all outdoors.

Ubique means "Entrain at once for Grootdefeatfontein"!

Ubique means "Off-load your guns"—at midnight in the rain!

Ubique means "More mounted men. Return all guns to store."

Ubique means the R. A. M. R. Infantillery Corps!

Ubique means that warnin' grunt the perished linesman knows,

When o'er 'is strung an' sufferin' front the shrapnel sprays 'is foes;

An' as their firin' dies away the 'usky whisper runs

From lips that 'aven't drunk all day: "The Guns! Thank Gawd, the Guns!"
