"Dear Old Pal of Mine" is a World War I song written by Harold Robe and Gitz Rice. The song was first published in 1916 by G. Ricordi & Co. in New York, NY. [1] [2]

Irish tenor John McCormack earned the nickname the "Singing Prophet of Victory" by popularizing this wartime song. [3] It was in the top 20 from January to March 1919 and reached number 10 in February. [4]

The idea for the song, according to an editorial note on the sheet music, was conceived by Rice while on sentry duty at the front lines at Ypres, Belgium. [5]
