Uncle Harold Goes To War

He was such a special young fellow When Uncle Harold went off to the war “Wet behind the ears, ” as they say He didn’t know the worldly score But, you know, it didn’t really matter For he was ready to enlist Like so many young men his age The service didn’t have to insist For most were more than ready To fight hard for their country They put their lives on hold And fought for you and for me Uncle Harold was no different He packed his bags, you see Was ready for wherever he was sent Then said good-by to his family England was where he went There was a war going on over there He not only did what he had to do He did more than was his share There were many hardships of course He had sicknesses off and on But Uncle Harold fought for his country And he continued to be very strong So you see, he is a hero in our family And to our nation too as well He wrote in a daily diary, and This is the story he had to tell!
