24 February 1920 American-born Nancy Astor became the first woman to speak in the House of Commons following her election as an MP two months earlier.

https://war-poetry.livejournal.com/723121.html 'The Ballad of the D DAY DODGERS By Lance-Sergeant Harry Pynn of the Tank Rescue Section,
19 Army Fire Brigade, who was with the 79th Division just south of Bologna, Italy. Written November 1944

Now Lady Astor, get a load of this.
Don't stand up on a platform and talk a load of piss.
You're the nation's sweetheart, the nation's pride
We think your mouth's too bloody wide.
We are the D-Day Dodgers, in Sunny Italy.

https://www.tobarandualchais.co.uk/track/73551?l=en The D-Day Dodgers Contributors Henderson, Hamish, 1919-2002 (10)
The tune is by Norbert Schultze, written around 1938 for the German poem 'Lili Marleen' or 'Das Mädchen unter der Laterne', written in 1915 by Hans Leip.

On 25 February 1862, Abraham Lincoln issued an emergency currency called “greenbacks” during the US civil war.

GREENBACK DOLLAR - Hoyt Axon - 1962

And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailing song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
