Thread Name: WWII songs
Subject: RE: WWII songs
I remember one of those "Errol Flynn" type war films where the rest of his platoon was surplus to requirements!!

One of the songs started with the line: From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli.."

I, as a war orphan in London during the blitz was invited along with many others to a party thrown by the US Army stationed there.

We were warned not to sing, "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy.." as it was considered politically incorrect. Not that I knew what that at the time!

So that's another WW11 Song.

Has anyone mentioned, "Bless 'Em All"?
