There was also another record that came out in 1953 and it was called (The Answer To Dear John)and I believe Ferlin Husky did this one by himself.I had both of these records and on the Dear John recording after the line I must let you know tonight the correct words were (THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS DIED LIKE GRASS UPON THE LAWN)and the start of the talking verse should be (I was over in Korea) Not over seas in battle.I have somewhere in my song books the words to Answer To Dear John and when I find them I will post.Both of these songs were written about a soldier in Korea not WW2 Louie Roy
