The Rambling Soldier by Roy Palmer (1977) has an eight page chapter entitled McCafferty.

"What a Lovely War!" by Roy Palmer (1990) has a three page chapter entitled McCaffery. He includes 12 verses from a manuscript book of songs compiled in India in 1937 by William Blackmore, a clerk in the 1st Devonshire Regiment. It was set to the tune of The Croppy Boy/Lord Franklin.
