To whoever mentioned the 51st Highlanders Farewell to Sicily, It was indeed written by hamish Henderson and was performed by the Chad Mitchell Trio. As I remember, (I was rather young when I heard their version, perhaps 7 or 8 years old 1962-63)John Denver sang the lead.

Though I know this is a very late posting to the thread would be complete without mentioning the incredible Vera Lynn and two of her songs "Auf Wiedersehn, Sweetheart" and "From the Time You Say Goodbye." Both are truly splendid! regards Neil
