Pip, Squeak and Wilfred


Pip, Squeak and Wilfred are the nicknames given to the three WWI campaign medals.

The 1914-15 Star; the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

The medals' nicknames come from a popular comic strip of the time from the Daily Mirror newspaper. Pip was a dog, Squeak a penguin and Wilfred was a baby rabbit.


This particular song I wrote to portray the thoughts of a veteran looking back on the war.

I imagined this song being performed in the Music Halls of the mid to late twenties.

We now commemorate 100 years since the ending of the Great War, the war to end all wars.

Well THAT worked!?
