Solved: Oldie unknow Song

Hi, need help to identify this song my late Mother use to sing. Any help would be a great help. Thanx.

In an old Australian cottage with the ivy round the door,
a girl receives a letter from a boy out in the war.
With her mothers arms around her, she gave way to tears and syes,
and has she read that letter a tear fell from her eyes.

Chorus
Why should I weep, why should I cry, my loves asleep so far away.
He played his part, that August day and left my heart on Solway Bay.

She joined a band of nurses and beneath her cross of red, she vowed to do her dudy to her lover who lay dead.
Many men they came to woo her, but she turned them all away, in memory of her lover who died on Solway Bay.
Chorus


I think all the words are correct as far as I can remember her singing them. God bless her soul xxx

Here's a thread which discusses the song. Hope it's helpful. The song name is Suvla Bay and is also known as Suda Bay.
