The Rambling Soldier by Roy Palmer (1977) has an eight page chapter entitled McCafferty. "What a Lovely War!" by Roy Palmer (1990) has a three page chapter entitled McCaffery. He includes 12 verses from a manuscript book of songs compiled in India in 1937 by William Blackmore, a clerk in the 1st Devonshire Regiment. It was set to the tune of The Croppy Boy/Lord Franklin. Here is some further background to the story of McCaffery; Mutiny at Fulwood Barracks Preston had a significant Catholic population. Another factor that swayed public sympathy towards McCaffery was the memory of the Preston Strike of 1842, which led to troops opening fire on the crowd of cotton workers, causing the death of four.
