This brief gem (ALL of Al's songs are gems...some are just diamonds or rubies, while others are emeralds or pearls) is only 2:52 but packs a lot of emotion and story line. Although to be sure, the video (films clips from some WWI war movie; I don't know what it's from...any help?) also puts ones mind into the WWI "dog-fight" mode over "no-man's" land.
The tune is from Al's 1988 album LAST DAYS OF THE CENTURY.

Don't know the film, but the starlet looks familiar. Al - great as always. My favorite song by him is about the Russians at the end of WWII and the one Russian who is telling the story is sent to the Gulag at the end for being a prisoner and being let go after only a day.
