It soon became popularly known as the Dad’s Army because most of its volunteers were older men who were considered too old to form part of the regular British Army.

Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Jul 24 - 03:42 AM 23 July On this day in 1759 Work started on the Royal Navy’s 104-gun battleship HMS Victory, at Chatham, Kent, built from the wood of 6,000 trees, 90 per cent of which were oak. The name Victory was chosen in October 1760. In 1759, the Seven Years' War was going well for Britain; land victories had been won at Quebec and Minden and naval battles had been won at Lagos and Quiberon Bay. It was the Annus Mirabilis, or Wonderful Year. Come cheer up, my lads! 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year; To honour we call you, as free men not slaves, For who are so free as the sons of the waves? Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men; We always are ready, steady, boys, steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again. The music of HEART OF OAK was written in 1759 by composer William Boyce, the lyrics by actor David Garrick, for Garrick's pantomime Harlequin's Invasion, to which others contributed as well. The pantomime was first performed on New Year's Eve of that year at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. The oak in the song's title refers to the wood from which British warships were generally made during the age of sail. The "Heart of oak" is the strongest central wood of the tree. Wikipedia SONGS ABOUT HMS VICTORY include (On Board) The Victory and On Board a Man O'War.
