Any Veterans watching? If so, I respect your service.
My Favorite WW2 Song. It is sung to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", the song tells of a f@tal training jump of a rookie paratrooper whose parachute fails to deploy, resulting in him falling to his d*ath. Each verse describes the man’s d*ath and the subsequent condition of his body in the aftermath. The chorus mimics the chorus in The Battle Hymn of the Republic, replacing the lyrics "Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on." with "Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to d!e! He ain't gonna jump no more."

My uncle was a parachute packer in WW2 and he used to joke that no one ever came back to complain their chute failed to open.

When I was a cadet at Norwich, the military college in Vermont, from 75 - 79 this was one of our running cadence calls.

The version I’m familiar with (British) ends They put him an envelope and sent him home to Mum. We used to sing it in the Boy Scouts.

Remember, the original song was “His (John Brown) soul goes marching on”. Somewhere around end civil war and post civil rights movement, it became “I know a song that gets on everybody’s (the south’s) nerves”. The Lost Cause at work

The original song was “His (John Brown) soul goes marching on”, but many Christians saw the song as childish, so they wrote "Mine eyes have seen the glory," which became this song. The reason it became a song that got on the south's nerve is both the Lost Cause myth and the lyrics of the song (probably. I don't live in the USA and don't know much about this stuff)

I asked some people how old they think this song is and I got 1880, 1864, 1750, 1820, 1890, so I would say the date 1944 is a bit off of what they said
