These are photos taken of document I created to help assist shavetails in our unit to learn the poem "Fiddlers' Green" and short history of "Old Bill".

This was printed out on Ivory colored paper and then laminated for lasting effect.

This is the original version of the poem printed in 1923. Since the poem is over 95 years old, there has come some variance in years past, specifically paragraph 6, among a few other minor items.
