Thanks for this one, Kat. One of Eric Bogle’s great WWI songs.
I found this on youtube, a mandolin trio with John Munro (that’s him on the right). John is Eric Bogle’s sidekick and has backed him up on mandolin and vocals on a lot of his recordings and concerts. According to this youtube recording he co-wrote this song.
Long intro, about two minutes of mandolin (times three) before one of them switches to guitar and sings. Nice.
According to the lyrics page, it’s John Munro’s melody with Eric Bogle’s lyrics. They’re a great team. I saw them in concert in Northport, Maine several years ago.

Ted,
On Eric’s website if you go to Bogleband, there is quite a bit of information about John Munroe.
I didn’t know him at all.

Ted,
You are most welcome.
This was an easy choice for Veteran’s Day. I do love Eric’s voice.It is perfect for the meaning of this song.
