Oh! What A Lovely War Page #10

Hello, Ben.

- Who's that, then?

- Smithey. Jack Smith.

Hello, Jack.

- One of Jerry's, eh?

- Yeah.

Must have thought they were staying.

- How are you, mate? All right?

- Fine.

Good to see you.

- What's it like outside?

- They're still strafing.

I'm bloody sick of it.

Do you know where we are?

Mons.

First big battle of the war.

We're right back where we started.

Look at that.

Wouldrt catch me eating it.

My brother Harry, he was at Mons.

They're bloody starving in Germany,

you know?

We both were.

I heard the Germans is going Bolshevik.

That's when he got wounded. First time.

They say the German Navy's mutinied.

There's going to be a revolution.

They're just like the Russians.

Right, on your feet. Outside, you lot!

Then he came back again.

Corporal Tanner,

he's read this bloke Lenin.

He reckons it's all going to be different.

Well, it's got to be, isn't it?

It stands to reason.

They say the war will end anytime now.

Get your mask on,

or you won't live to see it.

Halt!

Right. Come on.

Who the hell are you, then,

the unknown soldier?

No, sir, I'm 294, Smith, J.

You'll have to move some. It's 10:58.

You're the last one.

Come on, lad, just follow the tape.

Granny.

Granny, what did Daddy do in the war?

And when they ask us

How dangerous it was

Oh, we'll never tell them

No, we'll never tell them

We spent our pay in some caf

And fought wild women night and day

'Twas the cushiest job we ever had

And when they ask us

And they're certainly going to ask us

The reason why we didn't win

The Croix de Guerre

Oh, we'll never tell them

No, we'll never tell them

There was a front

But damned if we knew where

And they're certainly going to ask us

The reason why we didn't win

The Croix de Guerre

Oh, we'll never tell them

No, we'll never tell them

There was a front

But damned if we knew where
