Hill Called Eight Seven Five (Evans, Tom) My Little Soldier Man (Evans, Tom) Country, patriotic. A-side: soldier's perspective, patriotic, Christmas Dad - I'm alive, terrible fight in Hill 875, VC all around. Sweat and blood so tiny nation can survive. Old Glory waving. I'll be home in time for Christmas B-side: Home front perspective, narrated by father. Letter from Uncle Sam. You're 1-A, drafted. Country is free because our sons are fighting
