Hi Jamie I have posted you and Michael Smith as performers of most of the songs you give on the Mudcat thread to which I have provided a link above.

Could you ( or anyone else) provide the words for Gunner Name of Bill which is not a song included in this Songs in English about the Spanish Civil War thread so far? I found Theodore Cogswell on Wikipedia,HERE,
where it says he was an ambulance driver in the SCW. Did he write the poem during the war or later? Any more information about the poem or the song or Theodore Cogswell would be good.

Regards, Geoff
