Rotterdam,
The song is "Going Home" made famous by Paul Robeson and sung at the funeral of Franklin D. Roosevelt. I found this particular rendition on an uncredited track on Youtube I wish I knew who the artist was so I could provide credit.

This soldier was killed in the Cornfield on the northern end of the battlefield. The action there took place between 5:45 a.m. and 9:00.
He was probably buried that day (Sept 17) or the following by men from his own unit. Although there may have been some makeshift identifying information scratched on a board to make his grave, that was soon lost through time and circumstance. As years past his shallow grave became forgotten and lost. Discovered again, by accident, last October.

Chimmy,
I think the power was in the simple elegance of it all.
