A Soldat's Postcard

It reads roughly....


.............

Tomorrow march me
to the farmers in the night quarter
Zucher and coffee
and a glass of wine

Tomorrow march me
to the farmers in the night quarter
If I divorce
my girl will cry
and be sad

Do you go home?
Because the Gloche has already beaten off ten
Go and lie down
and stand up tomorrow
on time.

Girl I love you
but I can not marry you
Just wait a year
then it will become true
that I will be a couple

Hi Ron,

I believe this song card is entitled "Tomorrow We March"
Have several titles by the same cartoon artist who signs himself as "Bottger", the titles I have are:-
"Annemarie wo geht die reife hin"
"Das kann doch einen seemann nicht erfchuttern"
"Lied von den lugenlords"
"Im grunen wald,dort wo die drossel sing"
"Mein regiment mein heimatland"
"Reise nicht so weit von hier!"
"schwarzbraun ist die haselnuss"
"Steh' ich in finft'rer mitternacht"
His artistic style is easily recognised - wonder who he was, and is he still alive?
Also have a rare card which is written in Sutterlein, and as it is 11:39 at night I do not want to wake my wife who can read this script as we both have to work in the morning!

Best wishes,

John.
