              Verse transcribed by T. J. Casey, Hut 28:

              'The R.I.C.

              Many lands have slaves and traitors who would sell their race for gold
              Who would lead the greedy wild beast, on the unprotected fold
              But the meanest vilest wretch of all that curse the Earth today
              Is the Irish-born slaveling who would fight in England's pay'

              Verse transcribed by Frank McGuinness (Kilbeggan), Hut 31, Rath Camp:

              'Our Flag

              We raised it up - no foot shall back
              A step upon the forward track
              For tis not in the days of wrath
              When woe and darkness haunt our path
              It is not when the gallows tree
              Is decked with fruits of liberty -
              That we should bend the knee or pull
              Thee down 'Our homes beautiful'.

              Verse from Internee No 832, James Donegan, No 9 Tent B Company:

              'O would the God above
              Send down a dove with wings as sharp as razors
              To cut the throat of those English dogs,
              That shot our Irish leaders'

              Also a joke from Thomas McGivinchy: 'Happy is the man who sits on a wasp's nest, for he shall rise again.'

              Verse by Mícheál Ó Baoghaláin (Meath):

              'Wherever the forces of crown assemble
              Whether on land, or sea, or the air
              Strike them down O Lord
              Strike them down
              And may their bones be ground into manure
              And spread over the land to grow crops for the poor.'
