Subject: RE: Origins: Irish Folk Tune?
It is close to the Rattlin' Bog as you say, but the whole thing is the air to "Oft in the Stilly Night" which was one of my Dad's favourites.

It is played every year at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, with David of the White Rock for Wales and Flowers of the Forest for Scotland.
