most of the songs are were written from the irish point of view imo quite understandably, very few from the english point of view.
i mean who in their right mind would write a song which went like this, we occupied a country that didnt belong to us,we sent soldiers who were not fighting in the first world war and who were only prepared for trench warfare, not guerilla warfare, who did not know where they were going until they realised they were heading westwards instead of to france, who had no idea they would be fired upon when arriving in dublin, who had no idea there was about to be an easter rising. why not, you ask, because it would show how unprepared and incompetent the glorious british empire was,now do you understand why there were no songs from the british point of view , because it would illustrate how incompetent and unprepared they were, no glory n that is there
