Ord's Bothy Songs And Ballads gives "The Plains of Waterloo" which mentions Wellington a lot quoting to an extra stanza said to be heard in the feeing markets of Scotland "Here's a health to Queen Victoria In peace lang may she reign Likewise the Duke of Wellington That noble son of Erin For though he was a Tory knave His courage aye was true He displayed both skill and valour too That day at Waterloo" It also has another song called "The Day Of Waterloo" sung to the air of Scots Wha Hae. Sorry don't have the time to type it all out and I can't find it on line but as an example one verse is "To all who can the honour claim From Wellington's immortal name To the humblest sons of martial fame Who fought at Waterloo" It also has "The Battle of Barossa" which mentions Nelson's victory at Trafalgar. There is also "Nairn River Banks" which again mentions Wellington. "Like brethren, with the Spanish troops undaunted we advance While we with victory and success keep down the pride of France Long have we been engaged here but never yet did yield While brave Lord Wellington and us could keep the bloody field"
