There is a song describing young friends from a southern English village putting coins on the bar at the local pub for a drink when they all returned from WW1. I think the song records that none of them did return. Can anyone give me more details of the song and direct me to a recording of it, please?

Thirteen florins on the bar, by Mike Sparks, is one. I think there may be one or two more similarly themed
