I just read a book "Fall of Giants" by Ken Follett which mentioned this song and I hoped to find it online. I'm glad to find this version. Thank you.

My Great-granddad was Sergeant in the Artilley. he served before the war, and all through the war, until mid 1918, when he was blown up. So much wasted life in that war.

My Grandfather survived The Great War. And never spoke of it for the next 43 years. R.I.P. to all the Laddies.
