NATIONAL SEA TRAINING SCHOOL. GRAVESEND:
Although the war was over there was still a song that we would sing when out for a march with a officer, (very often, especially if it was a Sunday, we would stop at some local watering hole and he would pop in for a drink, Of course we had no money and would have to wait outside.). The song went something like this.
We are the lads of the Merchant Navy,
we do not fight, we do not shoot,
but a jolly fine lot are we.
and when we get to Germany,
old Adolf he will say,
Mien gott, mien Gott, What a jolly fine lot,
Are the lads of the Merchant Navy.
