It reminds me of this song from Canadian singer/songwriter John Wort Hannam:

Infantryman   John Wort Hannam

[C] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G]
My [C] boy came home from the [Am] war today [Dm] I stood by as his [G] plane touched down
An [C] infantryman on [Am] foreign shores [Dm] Coming on back to [G] his hometown
And it's [F] been so [C] long [F] since he's been [C] gone, I [F] stand be[C]fore him now and gaze in disbe[Am]lief
My [F] boy came home from the [G] war today [F] Draped in the [G] Maple[C]leaf

My [C] boy came home from the [Am] war today with a [Dm] medal for valour in [G] combat
They [C] hoisted high on their [Am] shoulders and [Dm] everyman gathered there [G] clutched his hat
But no [F] fanfare [C] played and no [F] speeches were [C] made No [F] pretty young [C] maids waved a [Dm] handkerchief
My [F] boy came home from the [G] war today [F] Draped in the [G] Maple[C]leaf
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G]

When my [F] boy came home from the [G] war today he was [F] draped in the [G] Maple[C]leaf
My [F] boy came home from the [G] war today, now my [F] heart is [G] filled with [C] grief
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C]
