The Sweet Violet Boys were indeed the Ramblers, operating under a pseudonym, possibly due to the risque nature of the recording. This was not the only time they recorded under this bit of camouflage.
But publishing is valuable and the music business has a shady history in this regard. The bon vivant feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with your mates and fighting the evil Boche is built into the memory of the song that was sung while the battle raged.
