GeoffLawes Any April Songs? (190* d) RE: Any April Songs? 11 Apr 23


21 April 1916 . Three days before the Easter Rising began in Dublin, a German submarine put Roger Casement ashore at Banna Strand in Tralee Bay, County Kerry.

THE BALLAD OF ROGER CASEMENT   aka    THE LONELY BANNA STRAND
On the twenty first of April, good Friday at the dawn.
A German boat was seen to float outside of Carrahane.
'With twenty thousand rifles, all ready for to land.
And waiting for a signal from the shores of Banna Strand.
