Incredible rendition of a soldier's favourite. I don't often go to church, but did last Sunday & this was the opening hymn of the mass. Find it hard not to get a lump in the throat at the best of times, but, the night before, I had read a stack of letters, sent home during WWII, from my uncles. Three of my uncles died. The letters had me weeping. Even in 1942, one of them wrote "This should be the last Christmas away". He died in 1943. All three died in 1943. Could hardly sing it. RIP & thanks.
