Bench warfare

D/DLI 7/560/13(24) An officer sat on a bench, Italy, c.1917

The Hun and We
by 'Africanada'

The Hun he takes some trouble when he wants to dig a trench,
To make a shell-proof dug-out he he would sacrifice a bench,
The Briton's an indiff'rent cuss in trench as in town; 
To find a bench to sit on, he will knock his dug-out down.
