Written by John Stanley Purvis whilst in the trenches and an ode to Mouse Lane which he remembered whilst waiting to go over the top. Purvis was invalided out of the war and died in 1968. Much of the surrounding area was used as an army camp during the First World War. See http://freepages.military.rootsweb.com/~thinblueline/page159.html .
