served in France, Of the trials and
tribulations, of the little pleasantries,
and of that day which brought to them
the greatest news of all-fni lie guerre.
I And throughout the day many an
overseas vet will join with Comrade
Harold Fl. Ulmer in recalling his bud
dy who. "went vest in one of the
greatest battles in world history, when
now atShome he mourrs:
"My Buidy!"
I'm sittin' here alone tonight,
Just a-thinkin' of the past,
Since the cannon stopped a-roarin'
And the bugles ceased their blast
For my moody thoughts are roamin'
And I'm sort O. in trance,
Wnlle my Duddy lies a-dreamlnN
In the poppy fields of France
While with blossoms we are strewin'
Heroes graves with every care,
My tender thoughts are guided
To my buddy over there.
| And may they not forget him,
AS he sleeps beneath the sod,
Where the grass blades gently culver
And the poppy blossoms nod.
Sure, he had no sanity virtues,
But no mortal ever knew
The patience that he bore it,
And the hell that he went through.
And when they balance his account,
They surely can't say "No,"
If they know him up in heaven
- AS | knew him here below.
