Wow! Excellent, Keith...I knew the story, but wasnt aware there was a song. Where did it come from...have YOU written it?

*busily trying to sing it to myself now, knowing the tune cos I sing 'MaCaffrey' myself*

I had thought the story was attributed to the Northamptonshire Regiment (48th & 58th) but maybe the Rutlandshire Regt started off as the Northants 2nd Battalion? (desperately trying to remember just WHERE Rutlandshire 'was')

Thanks again for posting it!
