beachcomber My guess is that it would have been recorded in the late 20's, with the Volunteer Reserve well established and before the first Fianna Fail government came to power. The language, even in the short extract you remember, is rather formal. The alternative is that it was a piss-take but I doubt it. Your best hope is probably that it was also in print somewhere. I'll try the ITMA (Irish Traditional Music Archive) online database but suspect an ex-army Comrades group might be more productive! Regars
