surely garryowen is an old irish song and used by an english hussar regiment before and during the crimean war

@AGoodOldRebel One of the reasons that English is the language of true precision in meaning, which is why it is the Language of Business, Science and Flight.

[AGoodOldRebel]

@vince33x True, English is like the Romans, We have never met a language we couldn't learn from.

@Moondancer007 Long live the English speaking peoples...including the Irish, who's greatest works have been done in the English language, the greatest language yet invented by man! English is the greatest language because the greatest writing in man's history has been done in English: Shakespeare, Keats, Milton, Chaucer, Twain, Churchill, there are no corollaries in any other language.

@museack The Irish in the south were just as honorable as the irish yankees, they mutually hated england

[museack]

@jettrink60 Well, the Irishmen that were NOT Yankees had to have been drunk when they made the decision to live in the south.

Where's The Duke and Pappy Ford??

It's easy to see why. For an old Irish pub drinking song, it's a heck of a march. Even listening to it today makes you want to get the old saber out of the closet and go saddle up!

[museack]

@seattwa That's the story I've heard also. I believe you're absolutely correct.

[seattwa]

This actually was Lt. Col. George A. Custer's official march of the 7th Cavalry. Picked BY him. And it is an old Irish folk tune.
