- (continued from previous page)about twenty years ago when Capt. Boyd returned from the great war.
"Oh! sounds the best clarinet and beat up the drum
A valiant true soul from the war he has come
Though gentle at home yet a hero was he
They welcome Boyd Rochfort that won the V B
2nd verse
The court it is lighted with lamps 'tis ablaze
All creeds are united in honour and praise
Over Middleton Park and through Castletown G
'Tis welcome Boyd Rochfort That won the VB
3rd verse
As the morning beams fall over Middleton Park
The songs in the hall join the songs of the lark
Re-echoed from each flowered valley and tree
Long live to Boyd Rochfort that won the VB
Ruth Johnson age 11
