SOLDIER, SOLDIER, Come From the Wars

A mournful dialogue song, with questions by the girl, answers by the man, and duet singing on the two-or-so-line chorus.

(I assume this is not the Soldier, Soldier mentioned by Bert.)

The girl asks a series of questions of the returned soldier, inquiring for her true love, a soldier-comrade in the soldier's unit. He answers each of her questions, the successive answers progressively making it clear that her soldier lover has been killed in battle, his final reply suggesting that when she's through with her grief, "You'd best take me for your new love".
