Benjamin's Story
Volunteered in 1914. Wounded,I believe on first day of the Somme offensive. Demobilised 1919
One of his songs:
We are the ragtime army
Fred Carno's happy band
We cannot shoot, we cannot fight
Although we look so grand
But when we get to Berlin
The Kaiser he will say
Mein Gott, mein Gott
What a bloody fine lot
Are the 114 Brigade.
Are the 114 Brigade.
