Thread Name: Origins: The White/Blue/Green Cockade
Subject: RE: Blue Cockade Origins ?
I just read a history of the American Revolution. When General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington after the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, two tunes were played.
One was 'The World Turned Upside-Down,' and the other was 'The White Cockade.'
