Lines on Colonel Wonham

by James McIntyre

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

Formerly of Ingersoll. He spent the last years of his life in Winnipeg. These lines were published at the time of the Fenian Raid:
When Wonham got orders To march to the borders, His boys they were ready, And fell in quite steady.
They first march’d to Woodstock To prepare for war’s shock, And soon camped at Windsor, Facing American shore.
