Oh, and by the way, back when the local vicar where I used to live used to invite me to sing it each Remembrance service, I sang the whole song.

The old soldiers, and we had a few WW1 veterans back then, used to love the song and afterwards over a pint at "The Soldiers" I used to sing it again. (Cheapest beer in town.)

Funny how nobody came up telling me the song was wrong.... In fact quite the opposite.
