Hey---thanx for the Hutsut song! ---I can remember singing that one in '47!

Have the "D-day Dodgers" had a mention?

Some of the gems brought home by the Desert Rats have stayed in my memory over the years--- "Bury me out in the Desert" 'Bury me out in the desert Under a Libyan sun Bury me out in the desert-- My duty for Blighty is done And when you get back to old Glasgow [Newcastle-Cardiff-belfast---etc......] Back to old Blighty once more, Remember the boys in the desert, Who'll never see Blighty no more."

A pawky parody of the Egyptian National anthem of the time was well known and sung by the "Rats". It begins 'Up yer pipe, King Farouk, Hang yer bollocks from a hook"---and gets quickly more impertinent from then on! Boab
