Great stuff Walrus,

Maybe just a typo but I've looked up "Hot Stuff" (by Edward Botwood) in the Digitrad and found the following note tacked onto the end of the song:

"Botwood was a sergeant of Lascelle's regiment, the 47th. He wrote this song on the eve of the expedition to Quebec; and was killed in the first attack on the French camp."

Air, 'Lilies of France.' TD"
