Another Tommy Atkins Song.

From the Chicago Post.
Tommy Atkins has a new marching
song that is said to be rivaling Tip
perary" in popularity. Like most of the
songs Tommy sings. it has nothing to
do with war. The British soldier does
not vent his patriotism lyrically. He
puts it all into his shooting and his
bayonet charges. A stanza of the new
song runs as follows:
Hello. hello. who's your lady frends
