As this group is mainly consisting of old guys, I would ask if any
remember an old British Army song that went like this,

"Only one more kit inspection, only one more church parade,

When I get my civvy clothes on, no more soldiering for me."

Wasn't that sung to the tune 'What a friend we have in Jesus' and appears
in the film 'Oh what a lovely war'?

When this bleedin’ war is over
No more soldiering for me
When I get my civvies clothes on
Oh, how happy I shall be.
No more church parades on Sunday
No more asking for a pass
I shall tell the sergeant major
To stick his passes up his arse

When this lousy war is over
Oh how happy I shall be
When I get my civvie clothes on
And I return from Germany.
I shall sound my own reveille
I shall make my own tattoo
No more N.C.O’s to bollock me
No more rotten Army stew.

N.C.O.’s will all be navvies
Privates ride in motor cars:-
Officers will smoke their Woodbines,
Privates puff their big cigars.
No more ‘Stand-To’ in the trenches
Never another church- parade;
No more shiv’ring on the fire step,
No more Tickler’s marmalade

Lots more if you Google 'When this bleedin’ war is over'.

There are many tunes set to different words. (or visa versa, I forget)

Ta. I will look that up.

reminds me of when old soldiers would gather, around 1950 or so.

No, but reminiscent of:

No more Latin, no more French,
No more sitting on the old school bench,
No more spiders in my tea
Making go-goo eyes at me:
No more crocodiles in my bath
Trying their hardest to make me laugh,
- and so-on.

OK.

National anthem of Ancient Britons

What's the good of wearing braces,
Vests and pants and boots with laces,
Spats or hats you buy in places
Down in Brompton Road?

What's the use of shirts of cotton,
Studs that always get forgotten?
These affairs are simply rotten:
Better far is woad.

Woad's the stuff to show, men.
Woad to scare your foemen:
Boil it to a brilliant hue
And rub it on your back and your abdomen.

Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on
Anything as good to fit on
Neck, or knees, or where you sit on.
Tailors, you be blowed.

or

Romans came across the Channel
All wrapped up in tin and flannel:
Half a pint of woad per man'll
Dress us more than these.

Saxons, you can keep your stitches
Building beds for bugs in britches:
We have woad to clothe us, which is
Not a nest for fleas.

Romans keep your armours;
Saxons your pyjamas:
Hairy coats were meant for goats,
Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas.

Tramp up Snowdon with our woad on:
Never mind if we get rained or blowed on.
Never want a button sewed on.
Go it, Ancient Bs.

I give you the Battalion National Anthem of the 5/3 Rifle Brigade (NZ)
circa 1917.

Only just one more reveille,
Only one more night parade.
Only one more kit inspection,
Then we’re marching home again.
When we get our civil clothes on,
When this gory war is over,
No more soldiering for me.

Compliments will be fewer,
Guards, fatigues, will be no more,
We’ll be spooning with the wenches
As we did in days of yore,
N.C.O.’s will then be navvies,
Privates own their motor cars,
No more “siring” and “saluting,”
No more tea in two pound jars.

No more marching, no more doubling,
In the dewy morn in haste.
No more pushing blooming barrows
On the range at Cannock Chase.
No more “smarter men, now smarter,”
No more bread like granite rock,
No more rising at five-thirty,
And “Lights out” at ten o’clock.

No more asking when we’re marching,
“Please sir, may we have a “drink.”
Or because we drop a shovel,
No more putting in the clink.
No more “shun-ing,” “as-you-were-ing,”
No working for a bob a day.
When next the country has a war on,
We’ll find a job that brings more pay.

People told us when we ‘listed,
Fame and medals we should win,
But the fame is in the guard room,
And the medals made of tin.
When we’ve finished with the Kaiser,
At the Palace we shall sing
The Battalion National Anthem
Twice a night. God save the King.

Both my parents were in the armed forces during WWII.

I blame church parades for the fact that neither of them ever
subsequently entered a church or chapel, except for the conventional
ceremonies involved in BMD.

I'm pretty certain The Yetties sang something very similar on one or
more of their albums. I did a quick gwgl, but haven't so far found it.

All my parents were involved: father, RAF (decd.); mother, drove an
ambulance; stepfather, Royal Artillery, demobbed 1946, returning to
Barclay's Bank, whence all three came before the war.

Mother never drove an ambulance again: indeed, never drove again.

Likewise, father in Signals, mother in NAAFI - guess where they
met.

Father was a paratrooper[11] dropped into occupied Senapr, he'd
never flown before joining and after the war he was terrified the first
time he was still in a plane when it landed - he never flew again after he
retired from the army in 1963.

[11] Surprise surprise he needed replacement hips.
