Army Barmy

Our Jack was a soldier of cavalry fame, a squaddie then took our Beryl to tame. Albie's good sense kept him from this game while David, though Sapper, gave admin some pain. Now me in the middle, I just played along, though a true army brat I just practiced their song. For the REME our Eric on vehicles fed, while Ken gave it up... came a policeman instead. Ray also joined up, but as last of our bunch decided to leave after eating first lunch. Now me in the middle, I just played along, though a true army brat I just practiced their song. Most of my siblings went into the army, all except me were quite Army Balmy!. Including my father, I think you will find. a century or more has gone into this grind! Now me in the middle, I just played along, though a true army brat I just practiced their song. A soldier's a soldier when all's said and done, but even a soldier spawns daughter or son ' He begats to the world a superior breed of true Army Brats when he scatters his seed! Ivor G Davies
