CHRISTMAS IN WARTIME: 1916 by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

First Line: CHEER OH, COMRADES, WE CAN BIDE THE BLAST
Last Line: IF DUTY DONE MAKES ALL THE OTHERS BRIGHTER.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; COMFORT; DUTY; WAR; WORLD WAR I; NATIVITY, THE; FIRST WORLD WAR;
CHEER oh, comrades, we can bide the blast
And face the gloom until it shall grow lighter.
What though one Christmas should be overcast,
If duty done makes all the others brighter.
