“Good-morning, good-morning!” the General said
When we met ______ last week on our way to the line.
Now ______ soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead,
______ we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
“He's a ______ old card,” grunted Harry to Jack
As they ______ up to Arras with rifle and pack.
But he ______ for them both by his plan of attack.
