Subject: RE: Lyric Req. Farmer's Boy
Hunting for the Regimental song of the Dorsetshire Regiment doesn't get you anything either, but that's what it is....

"Composed of members of the 39th and 52nd Regiment of Foot, the Dorsetshire Regiment have as their regimental march, the old ballad 'To be a farmer's boy'."

Have seen them march through Dorchester playing this.. more useless information - the Band of the Devon & Dorsets are the only other military band allowed to wear a white helmet (shaped like a British policeman's helmet) - the other being the Royal Household Cavalry band. Full of useless crap aren't I?! Just right for 'Who wants to be a millionaire' except I'd feel honour bound to strangle Chris Tarrant.
