I wish to source lyrics/tune for this song composed by Sheelagh Allen in 2005/6? It celebrates the story of piper Bill Millin who was the piper who played on Sword beach during the D-Day landings. Thank you.

I'm not sure if this pertains to the same Sheelagh Allen, but given times and dates and reference, it may well be the same person. I'd suggest anyone wishing to find out more about the song try writing to her at the address given in the link. Time is moving on.
