Subject: RE: Lyr Req: John Condon - about WWI soldier
Yup, Flossie's version is superb - wonderful singing.
There's a suggestion that John Condon was actually 19, and that some army clerk had cocked-up on his records (there was a thread about this some time ago).
But 19 is still far, far too young to die, and it's a beautiful song about the tragedy of war.
