@frankthe grove.....you are 100% correct by saying that Teresa Brayton wrote that magniicent song......she was born in Country Kildare in 1868 and came to the United States in 1895 and then went back to her homeland in 1932. She was a wonderful poet and writer and she died in Ireland in 1943. In 1959, the President of Ireland, Eamon De Valera, put a Celtic Cross over her grave.
Keep up the GOOD work Tyrone man ,.... and we'll do the best we can. Thanks.

I believe that a woman called Teresa Brayton wrote this evocative song. I may be wrong. But could anyone tell this Tyrone man anything about the author, please?

Such a beautiful song, so poignant and for so many Irish men and women it describes perfectly what they endured.
