Now that peace in Europe nears

And we are coming home I hear,
Home again with you once more,
Say by nineteen .twenty-four.
Once l thought by now I'd be
Sailing home across the sea.
Back to where you sit and pine,
But I'm stuck here on the Rhine.

War is hell but peace is worse.

In the front ranks I'll be found;
I'll rush in again pelmell.
Yes, will, like h, like h.
