Oh Louise, you carry such string mementoes of a past life for me in this letter… I must have heard this song in all its versions at least twice a week on the radio when I lived in Ireland, it never fails to bring a tear!

Interesting history of this song which I first heard during the Vietnam era. The original version should be sung at every recruiting office.

You’re right, Kathy, it should. In every language and recruiting office around the world. 🗺️
