Ah that's better. Yes, nothing in Kilgarriff but I have almost the same text in Evergreen magazine, Winter 1999. The significant interest lies in v3 of this version which runs

A soldier lad lay dying, way out on Flanders field
A bunch of faded violets upon his breast lay sealed.
He said unto his comrades, 'My life is fading fast,
So take them back and tell her that I wore them to the last.

Now this was remembered by an Australian from WWII. The style could be anything from 1890 to 1940, but I think this particular version would be WWI. It looks like some deliberate rewriting has gone on in one version or the other.
