My dad's uncle served with the 42nd in Malaya.

Makes me proud to be related to such a famous regiment. :)

@robinaxeman. My mother used to sing "wha saw the tattie howkers". Is it perhaps the Clydebank version I wonder? :)

I was once told by sergeant (an englishman WW 2 Vet in the british army) that Britan would always be Ok as long as the had scottish soldiers.

When I was a lad the words were diffenent."Wha saw the tattie howkers" was the title.

Your'e bound to get kids varying the lyric by inventing their own versions.

This is amazing. I learned this song ( a couple verses) in the mid-'60s when I was in fourth grade...it had lost something on its path to me. Thank you for posting.
