Notes	The speaker of the poem is reminiscing on a friend and their activities during the Emergency, the World War II years in Ireland. His friend, who is named in the paratext, has since passed away. There are references to their guarding of the coastline at night in case Hitler would launch an invasion against Ireland, although it isn't specified if this was as part of the official duties of the Irish Army. The poem appears rather light-hearted in tone.
