I! - By the four I slew and the shell I stopped, if my feet be not too late, - I speak the word for Rifleman Brown that a chap may speak for his - mate!” - The dead of lower Valhalla, the heroes of dumb renown, - They pricked up their ears to a tale of the earth as they set their - tankards down. - “We were both on sentry this morning, when the General happened along. - He asked us our job in a gas attack. Joe told him, ‘Beat on the gong.’ - ‘What else?’ - ‘Nothing else, sir,’ Joe answered. - ‘Good God, man,’ our General said, - ‘By the time you’d beaten that bloodstained gong the chances are you’d be - dead. - You’d put on your gas helmet, blast you, and you’d damn well - put it on _first_!’ - And Joe stood dumb to attention, and wondered why he’d been cursed.” - The gashed heads turned to the Rifleman, and now it seemed that they knew - Why the face that had never a smear of blood was stained to the - jawbones blue. - “It was black to-night in the trenches.” The scarred heads craned - to the voice, - As the man with the blood-red bayonet spoke up for the mate of his choice. - “You know what it’s like in the listening-post, with the very candles - aflare, - Their bullets smacking the sandbags, our Vickers combing your hair; - How your ears and your eyes get jumpy, till each known tuft that you scan - Moves and crawls in the shadows till you’d almost swear it was man. - You know how you peer and snuff at the night when the Northeast gas winds - blow.” - “_By the One who made us and maimed us_,” quoth lower Valhalla, - “_we know!_” - “He was forty yards from the Bosches when, sudden as Hell, there came - The crash of a dozen machine guns, the orange spurts of their flame, - And Joe stood up in the whistling spray to try and fathom their game. - Sudden their guns cease firing, sudden his nostrils sniff - The sickening reek of the rotten pears, the death that kills with a whiff. - Sniffs, and spots what their game is, and bangs on his cartridge case, - With the gas cloud’s teeth in his windpipe and the gas cloud’s - claws on his face. - We heard his gong in our dugout--he only whacked on it twice-- - We whipped our gas bags over our heads and tucked them down in a trice. - For the gas would have got us as sure as God if he’d taken the - Staff’s advice!” - His head was cleft with a great red wound from the chin to the - temple bone, - But his voice was as clear as a sounding gong, “I’ll be damned - if I’ll drink alone, - Not even in lower Valhalla! Is he free of the free Canteen, - My mate who comes with the unfleshed point and the full-charged magazine?” - The gashed heads rose at the Rifleman o’er the rings of the Endless Smoke, - And loud as the roar of a thousand guns Valhalla’s answer broke, - And loud as the crash of a thousand shells their tankards clashed - on the board: - “_He is free of the mess of the Killer-men, your mate of the - unfleshed sword,_ - _For we know the worth of the thing he did, as we know the speed - of the death_ - _Which catches its man by the back of the throat and gives him - water for breath;_ - _As we know how the hand at the helmet cloth may tarry seconds too long,_ - _When the very life of the front-line trench is staked on the - beat of a gong._ - _By the four you slew, by the case he smote, by the red gas cloud and the - green,_ - _We pass your mate for the Endless Smoke and the beer of the - free Canteen._” - In the lower hall of Valhalla, with the heroes of no renown, - With our nameless dead of the Marne and the Aisne, of Mons and - of Wipers town, - With the men who killed ere they died for us, sits Rifleman Joseph Brown. - - GILBERT FRANKAU. - -18-6-16. - - - - - - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of How Rifleman Brown Came to Valhalla, by -Gilbert Frankau - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK HOW RIFLEMAN BROWN *** - -***** This file should be named 53449-0.txt or 53449-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/3/4/4/53449/ - -Produced by Brian Coe, Chuck Greif and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide -spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of -increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be -freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest -array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements.

To -SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any -particular state visit http://pglaf.org - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States.
