Hi All

I am new to this forum and I have to say how impressed I am with the wealth of info that is available.

I have question - I found the words of Marching through Rochester in the database and I have heard this song a number of times. I live about 15 miles from Rochester that was once a garrison town. I see that the name Pete Coe is under the title of the song on the database. I do not know if Pete is the man who wrote it, in which case I guess it is a modern song or whther Pete was the guy who put it in the database.

Some history of this song would be appreciated.

Regards

Ian
