Case d’Armons – SP, Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire

To the Quartermaster Sergeant
René Berthier

What do you put in it
In the ammunition pouch
You damn poilu of my heart

Bang bang bang
Wig wig
Bang bang bang
Artillery wig

To fight against the vapors
the glasses to protect the eyes
by means of a mask gas harmfulness
a soaked cloth handkerchief for noses

in the sodium bicarbonate solution

The masks will simply be wet with tears of laughter of laughter

Guillaume Apollinaire
