And, of course, one of the grand unifying elements for all the Imperial
military in the First World War was the chanting by filthy, exhausted,
disgruntled troops of the British musical-hall ditty every Yule-Tide:

"'twas Christmas Eve in the Workhouse, that day of all the year,
When the Paupers were full of gladness, their bellies was full of beer.
Then up and spoke the Workhouse Master, "To all within these walls,
I wish a Merry Christmas", and the Paupers answered, "BALLS!"

Merry Christmas or appropriate seasonal greetings, to all!

Marc
