"Indeed, this was, along with 'Smile, smile, smile' and 'Lili Marlene', one of the best-known songs of WWI."

"Lili Marlene" ("Lili Marleen") was a popular song in WW II, not WWI. It was based on a poem written by a soldier in WWI. (See the Lili Marlene/Lili Marleen threads for its history.)

The actual title to the song with the refrain "Smile, smile, smile" is "Pack Up Your Troubles (In Your Old Kit Bag"0.

Mademoiselle from Armentieres, ... etc.
