Brock Lyr ADD: St Aubin Sur Mer (Keith Marsden) (21) RE: Lyr Req: St Aubin Sur Mer (Keith Marsden) 02 Jul 22

I'm learning this song. But I like to try to fully understand a song before I perform it.
Can anyone help me understand the 3rd verse; I've worked out that an old sweat is a former soldier. What does 'If we paid the bill again for them this time they'd not forget' mean? Presumably 'paid the bill' means die? But who's 'they'? The government?
Thanks.
