Thread Name: WWI Trench songs
Subject: RE: Trench Songs of WW1
How about, all on the theme, I want to be elsewhere:
"Far, Far from Wipers (I long to be)" - or it's longer version "Sing Me to Sleep"/;"Soldiers' Lullaby"
"Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty" (The CEF had a version as "Take Me Back to Good Old Canada")
"I Want to Go Home"
The Middle East Lament [a.k.a. The Boys in Palestine] ("We came from Turkey's Mountains to Egypt's burning strand")
On Food:
"When the Stew Is on the Table"
"Jam For Tea" [or Ode to Tickler]
"Tickler's Jam"
"Plum and Apple"

Any Use?

Regards

Walrus
