Well, Eric Bogle must be the master - glad to see someone remembered "The Gift of Years".

But I am still amazed that no one has mentioned Ewan MacColl's Jamie Foyers about the Spanish Civil War:

Far dístant, far distant lies Foyers the brave
No tombstone memorial shall hallow his grave
His bones they lie scattered on the rude soil of Spain
For young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain

etc.
