Thread Name: WWI Trench songs
Subject: RE: Trench Songs of World War I
My grandfather, an artillery man in WWI, used to sing a song to the tune of "The Old Rugged Cross" that included the lines:
At the cross, at the cross where the Kaiser lost his 'oss And the Eagle on his helmet flew away oh he ran and he ran, Till he saw the British van Then he turned around and ran the other way
These are the only words I have, but I'd love to hear the rest. Anyone come across this song?
