Billy's Badge

There was one lad, Billy Doss. I met him in Vancouver, under Birk’s big clock. You know where that is? And he … I was waiting for a girlfriend, and he came. There was a café right there, and he says, “Jesse, let’s go and have coffee.” We had a piece of pie and he gave me his badge. He said, “I’ll take it back when I come home.” He was blown to bits over there. I’ve still got it. I shine it every once in a while and look at it. Well, it was so nice for … that some of them came home. There’s a lot of boys are buried over there. The one that gave me the badge, nobody seems to know where he’s buried. I’ve asked and I’ve asked, and nobody seems to know.
