I think these can largely speak for themselves, but I am somewhat intrigued by the 'silly little ditty Fred used to sing when he was a kid':
Look at the foughts we've fighted
Look at the deeds we've done
Bravely fought by me you ask?
Yes bravely died without any fuss
Look at the foughts we've fighted
I'll quickly let them see
I'm one of he boys of the Bulldog Breed
For a Bulldog once bit me
Since Fred (presumably her brother James Frederick) was born in 1888 and Ethel in 1892 and she would not have seen him since she moved to the USA in 1910, it is certainly pre WWI and could even be pre 1900. I have tried a Google search for these lyrics without success.
