Excerpt from Echoes From Flanders Now We've Returned To You. We did our parts, With willing hearts, While over the ocean blue, We ruined with fire, One great Empire, Now we've returned to you. We started no war, We fought only for Our rights - all which were due, There's no more land, Called "Fatherland, " Now we've returned to you. With flag unfurled. To "Rule the world" Was ever the Kaiser's view, But in the grind, He changed his mind, Now we've returned to you. We fought with France, And every chance We had to cross the slough, We broke their line, They sought the Rhine, Now we've returned to you. Some few Brave sons, Repulsing the Huns, Met death - but brave and true. But all the rest, Have done our best, Now we've returned to you. For land that's free, For Victory - The Old Red, White and Blue, We fought our might, We won alright, Now we've returned to you. To All Army Officers. If I wear a helmit, A heavy steel helmit, And you wear your old Sam Browne. If you "Right dress me" With bricks I'll caress thee, When I'm back in my home town. No more a soldier, Then I will get bolder, No orders from such a clown, And when you re back with your Sally, Stay out of the alley, Or take off your old "Sam Browne."
