The quote source sought by Mr Janusz is : The 'Eathen stanza 18 The 'eathen in his blindness bows down to wood an' stone; 'E don't obey no orders unless they is 'is own. The 'eathen in 'is blindness must end wheere 'e began, But the backbone of the Army is the Non-commissioned Man! A sentiment with which I have the honour to agree !
