GUEST,John (still no cookie)Hindsill Lyr Req: Airborne Ranger Song (US Army 82nd) (71* d) RE: Lyr Req: Airborne Ranger Song (US Army 82nd) 12 Aug 04

Glad I saw this thread. For the longest time I have been thinking of inquiring about a song (to the tune of The Man on the Flying Trapeze). Sometime around 1950 my mother shared a typed copy of several stanzas which I promptly, in my careless kid way, lost. The only thing I remember is the start of the chorus;
    "Once I was infantry now I'm airborne,
      Riding in gliders all tattered and torn"
That's it. Any oldsters w/ WWII memories can help?---John
