Both my grandfathers never mentioned this denument in their lives, thank God they survived

[Eddy2730]

I may not be Canadian but now I'm listening to this, I'm on the verge of tears.

[midlandpix]

Nice :-)

The singer John McCormack was Irish so closer to your part of the world.

[Eddy2730]

How did you know I was British?

[Eddy2730]

How I remember it. My Dad would sing this to lull me and my brothers to sleep.

[midlandpix]

Nice memory Eddy2730 :-)

[subsyboy]

with much respect to those who gave up their lives so that we could live in a free world we owe them each and every one

[pc0sence]

Check out 1:06. How could someone know these things back then?

[midlandpix]

Very observant.

Just goes to show that there is nothing new in this world.

[natedawg3654]

it's not new, Japan bombed pearl harbor because the us put on oil embargo on them.

[AllieRushii]

@pc0sence I thought the same thing!

[jeffhegarty]

I'd be prepared to swear that's an Irishman singing. Who's voice is it? Good stuff.

[midlandpix]

As far as I know it is John McCormack (Irish)

[jeffhegarty]

God my ears are good. Thanks, chief!

[midlandpix]

;-)

[typicalnortherner]

sorry to dissapoint but its ivor novello and he's welsh

[jeffhegarty]

So midlandpix is wrong? Well it's a fine song regardless. Now that I think of it, was McCormick in business during this era?

[typicalnortherner]

i apologise mate it is john mcormack singing. ivor novello does the music to it, as u say its a fine song regardless

[jeffhegarty]

Hear, hear-what you said!

[irisdaffodil]

When men were men and women were glad of them!

[midlandpix]

sure enough ;-)
