Phrase Origin: Go to war Miss Agnes

Posted by John on March 08, 2005

Has anyone heard of the origin of the phrase "Go to war Miss Agnes!" Chuck Thompson, Baltimore Sportscaster, would say this during broadcasts. My grandmother used to say "Go to war St. Agnes!"can't seem to find the phrase in internet searches.
Thanks.
