I heard a song on Thistle and Shamrock about a year or so ago, female vocalist, with lyrics about "all the fine young soldiers" whose country "promised to love them forever".

I would appreciate anyone who could give me the particulars on this song (title, artist, etc.).

Eric Bogle song I think - its on a De Dannan CD Think it might be Ballroom

Part of it is

They told all the fine young men When this war is over There will be peace And the peace will last forever

I'll see if I can find more

When I was a young soldier, I got fined, too. Seems things never change.
