An Alphabet of the War

Attention! while artist and author combine(The pictures are his and the verses are mine.)
A is my Aunt, with relations at Crewe,Whose butler saw thousands of Russians go through.
B's the Bureau where the censors decideIf it's safe to let out that the cavalry ride.
C's a Crown Prince. While the others keep shootingHe very unselfishly sees to the looting.
D is "The Day" when he's collared enough,And thinks it is time to get home with the stuff.
E is an Emperor. Need I enlargeOn the obvious fact that he's leading a charge?
F is a Flapper who hoped to assist,And told Winston Churchill he ought to enlist.
G is for Gordon, a palpable Scot—"Var main vader's name Gottheim? Nein, certainly not!"
H for Headquarters. "Eye-witness" takes noteOf the way that corporal puts on his coat.
