At this time I always remember a song, written by a Scot, Eric Bogle, and I always believe that whoever writes a song knows best how it should be sung.

With regards to Eric Bogle, I think the Pogues did an excellent over of his song "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"

Very poignant songs and a remmebrance of millions of lives lost..... WWI was such a pointless war and people treated like animals and discarded. God rest them all
