Subject: RE: ADD: Songs From the Front and Rear-Salome

That song is credited to "H. Weston/ J. Turner." Harry Roy & His Band and Billy Cotton & His Band are said to have recorded it in 1941.
Which song was the original would seem to be anybody's guess. The bawdy version appears to have been well known to the Brits in WWII.
