Est-ce une légende tenace? Pourtant, il est écrit ceci:
"[...] Reproduced below are the lyrics to the popular song Roses of Picardy, penned by British officer Frederick E. Weatherley (music by Haydn Wood) in 1916. An instant popular favourite and performed widely, a film of the same name - and based around the First World War - was produced in 1927. The song was invariably sung by British soldiers who had left behind a sweetheart when they enlisted (or were conscripted) for the Front in France and Flanders. However the song was written by Weatherley after he had conceived an affection for a French widow while receiving protection at her home in France". Voir ce site:
