Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Regimental Songs
Keith,

"...And before anyone points out my mistake, I meant the 42nd not 47th...." If you were referrting to "McCafferty", then you were right first time (the 42nd were never depoted at Fullwood, the 47th were).

Regimental songs: "The Jolly DieHards" (Middlesex Regiment - ex 57th Foot)
"Sahgun" (15th Hussars)
how about "The Camel Corps" (Royal Marines Camel Corps Contingent -Sudan 1888 -IIRC)
"Hot Stuff" (37th Foot)
"Souters o' Selkirk" "Savourneen deelish" (88th Foot - later Connaught Rangers) this was a song popular with, rather than directly related to the 88th
"Connaught Rangers" (stangely enough, the Connaught Rangers)
"Fighting with the 7th Royal Fusiliers" (Royal Fusiliers ex- 7th Foot)
"Bravo Dublin Fusiliers" (Royal Dublin Fusiliers)
"Barrosa" (87th Foot - Later Royal Irish Fusiliers) "The Rifleman's Song" (60th/95th Foot)

I have words for a number of the above in anyone wants them, but I can't do the tunes.

Somebody else's turn....
