The song Mademoiselle from Armentieres, as known in WW1 was penned by Cecil H Winter in 1915 / 16, during his time in England and France fighting with the kiwis. He was Australian having been raised in the 'Riverina' region of NSW. He was to take Riverina for his writings of Australian Bush poetry culminating in the writing of a book of such poetry ("The Story of Bidgee Queen & Other Verses",Century Books. 1929). From a young age he wrote for the Australian Bulletin Magazine. He migrated to New Zealand prior to WW1, living in Bluff, Southland.
I have a copy of his original writings of this song. He was my grandfather.
