Add to ORKGAs a youth lays dying on a French battlefield he asks a Red Cross nurse to send two messages to his home in St. John's, Newfoundland. The first is to his mother - he sends her the Bible she gave to him as he left. The second is to his sweetheart; he recalls their courting down by Rennie's river. The soldier dies and the narrator talks about the gallantry of the Newfoundlanders who died in the war.cf Doyle, "Old Time Songs of Nfld" (1955): 65; Leach, "Folk Ballads and Songs of the Lower Labrador Coast", 1965: 220
