Hello Gnome

"Hanging on the old barbed wire" (British Army) - typical example of Forces "Black Humour", same as "An Airman Lay Dying" (Royal Flying Corps), also "Sweeping" (Royal Navy).

Still waiting for the new thread with examples of songs "of the period" from "Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, USian, French, German, Turkish, Italian..., written at the time" dismissive of the military leadership from our "whack-a-mole" GUEST Troll - my bet? There will be no new thread, there will be no examples given and a different "whack-a-mole" GUEST Troll will post more unsubstantiated garbage.
