Subject: RE: Report from the Marianas by Pete Seeger From: GUEST,JeffB Date: 26 May 20 - 09:04 AM I was really interested to find that American Marines on Saipan in 1945 were singing, word for word, 'Dinky di digger', a song made up by Australians fighting in the trenches of Flanders in 1916. I sing it at our local singaround nearly every November just after Remembrance Sunday. |
