There is a word you often see, pronounce it as you may -
`You bike,` `you bikwe,` `ubbikwe` - alludin` to R.A.
It serves `Orse, Field, an` Garrison as motto for a crest,
An` when you`ve found out all it means I`ll tell you `alf the rest.
Ubique means the long-range Krupp be`ind the low-range `ill -
Ubique means you`ll pick it up an`, while you do stand, still.
Ubique means you`ve caught the flash an` timed it by the sound.
Ubique means five gunners` `ash before you`ve loosed a round.
Ubique means Blue Fuse1, an` make the `ole to sink the trail. 1extreme range
Ubique means stand up an` take the Mauser`s `alf-mile `ail.
Ubique means the crazy team not God nor man can `old.
Ubique means that `orse`s scream which turns your innards cold.
Ubique means `Bank, `Olborn, Bank - a penny all the way -
The soothin` jingle-bump-an`-clank from day to peaceful day.
Ubique means `They`ve caught De Wet, an` now we sha`n`t be long.`
Ubique means `I much regret, the beggar`s going strong!`
Ubique means the tearin` drift where, breech-blocks jammed with mud,
The khaki muzzles duck an` lift across the khaki flood.
Ubique means the dancing plain that changes rocks to Boers.

Ubique means `Off-load your guns` - at midnight in the rain!
Ubique means `More mounted men. Return all guns to store.`
Ubique means the R.A.M.R. Infantillery Corps!
Ubique means the warnin` grunt the perished linesman knows,
When o`er `is strung an` sufferin` front the shrapnel sprays `is foes,
An` as their firin` dies away the `usky whisper runs
From lips that `aven`t drunk all day: `The Guns! Thank Gawd, the Guns!`
Extreme, depressed, point-blank or short, end-first or any`ow,
From Colesberg Kop to Quagga`s Poort - from Ninety-Nine till now -
