Hi Howard,

Thanks for the comments. All three lines you comment on are references to the song I borrowed the tune from. Funny that these stand out like that. (-:

However, "The latest of the fall" was a momentary black-out regarding my history, as it's the end, rather than the start, of WW I that was in the latest of autumn. Having realised that (and disliking the "fall" as it would no longer have been current at the time of the song) I actually sing "The summer had been good to all". Not perfect, but acceptable. "As the Autumn leaves began to fall" might work too, though I'm not sure the "Then" will follow naturally. I'll try it out. Thanks.

"Enquired to", spelt as "Inquired to", was borrowed from the older one. As searching it on Mudcat also produced a more recent occurrence, I'll leave it for now. I agree that "fought beside of you" is not quite right, though, so I may sacrifice these last remnants of the older song, if I can replaced them together. (Alongside may have the stress upon the wrong syllable (and we sing, a tropical song).)

Thanks for the compliment. I guess it's safe to sing it again, then.

(And all this because I was not asking for help any more, but was merely saying it had truly become a song. (-:)

Bye,
