Malcolm,why are you so patronising?
it is meaningless because we do not know what was meant when the song was written, [we are all making guesses ]I have no desire to sing this song , but was mildly interested,as I had never come across[In 40 years] the Blue cockade,only the White cockade .
my reason for opening this thread again,was:to find out from an informed source,if the Blue Cockade ,had any important significance.
Phil has given the information I was after ,so Malcolm good night , and God bless .
