Killjoy	Origins: Question On 'Fighting 69th' (23)	Origins: Question On 'Fighting 69th'	17 Nov 03
Greetings to all, and apologies if this subject was covered somewhere that I neglected to look for it. I checked the previous forum entries, but there was no answer to my specific question. I'm wondering about a phrase used in the chorus of The Fighting 69th... The second line goes: "Singing 'Here's to the boys who fear(ed) no noise, They're the Fighting 69th'" Does this business about the "noise" refer to anything? It seems an odd turn of a phrase... I wondered if there were something related to the Civil War, or the time period in general which might be behind it. Thanks in advance to all who reply!
