I'm not sure but it could just be that it was 'Night, God Bless'...in a contracted form......I am sure soldiers used to say something like(and Retlaw might be able to help out here)...'its all mi eye and something(can't remember the word) martin'....this saying was supposed to have its roots in a french saying...but was bastardised by troops who didn't understand the french language.
Well, that is unless anyone knows anything different.
