Altho my named is actually Myer [not Myers], I am the man ref'd to by Sandy Paton, who was a friend while in London 51 years ago. Fancy his remembering my little fragment all those years later. It was indeed to the tune of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me', aka 'Brighton Camp'. I learned it from a friend called Leslie Greybourne in London c 1956; originally from East London, I think; he said it was a street song among his friends in his late·childhood/adolescence, I think. He had absolutely no military connection — hadn't even done any National Service like most of us poor fellows at the time. While in the British Army I naturally learned many songs of what Bert Lloyd used to call a 'disobliging' nature, but oddly this wasn't one of them. But then I am not sure 'Girl I Left' is particularly military in origin — used as march tune by the US army, I think; but perhaps more commonly used as a country dance over here.
