TOWN WITH NO BEER! -

A shortage of beer in town (one of the greatest tragedies to befall any community) prompted Charles Truslove to write about it. Following is the first verse of his ballad. We take it from the poem that Mullewa should be pronounced Mulle-war.

When Mullewa ran short of beer.

Don't talk to me of hardships on the fighting fields of France
and all the things that happened at the war
There's something I will tell you that you haven't heard perchance
of the suffering that they had in Mullewa
Tis a thing to be remembered plant it firmly inn your mind
We'll never see the like again I fear
And in the distant future years in history books we'll find
the day that Mullewa ran short of beer.
