We'll All Go Broke If We Haft to Over There Soldier Ballad
A wartime poem contrasts burden fears to keep soldiers fighting with a sentimental refrain about going back to grandpa's. It portrays Belgian children and grim trenches, then shifts to a child’s memories of home, grandpa’s garden, a shotgun, and simpler pleasures, urging sacrifice and resilience.
