Just a small addition. We recorded this song with Cobbers in Australia in 1979 just before we went to Britain on tour. We ran into the Fureys at the Embankment, a pub in Dublin and I asked Finbar why they changed the name from "No Man's Land" to "The Green Fields of France". Apparently, they wanted to release the song in England and everyone thought that 1916 referred to the IRA uprising and it caused them a lot of trouble. The name change solved the problem. I still think that and "Shelter" are Eric's two best songs, better even than "The Band PLayed Waltzing Matilda" but I guess it's all taste, isn't it?
