Le Regiment de Levis

The 17th Levis Regiment was formed in 1863 as the 17th Levis Battalion of Infantry later changing to a regiment in 1900. A year later it was disbanded then reactivated in 1902 with the French title Le Regiment de Levis being granted in 1920. In 1954 the regiment amalgamated with the Le Regiment de la Chaudiere. It had used this march of which its origins and composer are little known however was not adopted on amalgamation.

Occasional Overture

17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge’s Own) / 17th/21st Lancers

This slow march was used by the 17th Lancers prior to the 1922 forming the 17th/21st Lancers when Rienzi was adopted as the new slow march.

Off, Off, Said the Stranger

86th Regiment of Foot / Durham Light Infantry / Royal Ulster Rifles

John Craven wrote the words and Miss A. Mahony the music around 1820. The 86th Regiment of Foot used this traditional air as a quick step prior to 1881 along with The Kynegad Slashers, whilst the 83rd used Garry Owen. On amalgamation in 1881 they adopted the march on becoming the Royal Irish Rifles; it was also retained in 1881 by the Durham Light Infantry on its formation and after the 1968 name change to the 4th Battalion, The Light Infantry.

Oft in the Stilly Night

Ulster Defence Regiment

This is one of Moore’s most beautiful ballads and there is some doubt about whether it is a folk song, drawing room or platform song. The march is a traditional tune adopted by the Ulster Defence Regiment and was used as both a lament and slow march. Although the march itself is no longer an official part of Royal Irish Regiment music, it is used as a lament, played on the bagpipes and its pleasant tune and style causes one to reflect on times past.

Old 68th

Durham Light Infantry

The Durham Light Infantry use this slow march for many years. It had been lost for many years until early in the twentieth century a copy was found by Colonel W. Gordon while in Edinburgh and was reintroduced although when the regiment was amalgamated into the Light Infantry in 1968 it was not retained.

Old Comrades

(Alte Kameraden/Vieux camarades)

Administration Branch (CF)

Twenty-three old Carl Teike became the Bandmaster Band of the 123rd Grenadier Rifle Regiment at Ulm, Germany and during this time composed this selection creating a new kind of march. The style blended the vigour of Prussian Military marches with the tunefulness of Viennese music. When the new bandmaster took a serious disliking to his composition, Teike dedicated it to his old friends and left become a policeman in Potsdam.

The title was suggested by old regimental comrades after Teike decided to leave the Army. Tieke sold the march for $6.00 to the Fritz Morike publishing firm after he learned that bands in Germany and Austria were copying the parts. The arrangement used by Germany military units is the most authentic reproduction of his original composition. It had long been a favourite of Canadians serving overseas in Germany and when the decision came down to adopt a march for the Administration Branch there was overall approval. Today, it has become a world favourite and is much played by European, American and Canadian bands.

Old Grey Mare

11th Hussars / Royal Military College, Sandhurst (Old College)

This tune first appeared in 1858 in song form by J. Warren and was popular with cavalry units. It was adopted by the 11th Hussars and combined with Moses in Egypt. In 1928 the Regimental Dance band adopted it as a signature tune. It had been the march of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst (Old College) and is believed to have connections with the white horse that the adjutant rides up the steps of the Old Building at the conclusion of the Sovereign's (Commissioning) Parade.

Old Hundredth

13th Hussars

This 18th century French tune from The Ainsworth Psalter was in its early form composed by Louis Bourgeois as a gay and lively air. The slower form used today emerged from the 18th century with the second stanza by Thomas Ken is known as the Doxology. The 13th Hussars had a tradition of playing two hymns ever evening before Last Post, The Vesper and Old Hundreth. There are several accounts how the customs came about - some claim that it was penance for an outrage at a convent in either Spain or Portugal some time during between 1810 and 1813; others that it resulted from an incident in which a band boy was sentenced by an unofficial band-room court martial to be flogged, a sentence which was carried out with such brutality that the unfortunate boy was killed. Matthew Larter, however, dates the custom from his period as bandmaster: “The hymn tunes were introduced by Colonel Miller in 1875, and Vesper and Old Hundredth, to be played alternately, and on the march to Delhi the same years we played them every night after the last post.”

Old Mommouthshire

7th Duke of Edinburgh’s Own Gurkha Rifles

Monmouthshire is in east Wales and formed from the Laws in Wales Act 1535. Between the 16th and 20th centuries there was some ambiguity as to whether the county was part of Wales or England but since 1974 the area has been placed definitively in Wales. The area largely became part of the new local government and ceremonial county of Gwent. The band of the 7th Duke of Edinburgh’s Own Gurkha Rifles used it as a quick march.

Old North Shore

2nd The Royal New Brunswick Regiment (North Shore) / North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment

The Royal New Brunswick Regiment does not have a Regimental march but individual battalion marches which is unique in the Canadian Forces. The 1st Battalion use A Hundred Pipers while the 2nd Battalion adopted Bonnie Dundee as a slow march and this tune for a quick march. The 2nd Battalion inherited it from the North Shore Regiment during the 1954 amalgamation with the 28th Field Battery RCA. The words were written by Corporal Howie Aube (Sp Company) of Bathurst NB who was much admired for his singing and guitar prowess before being killed in action at Cairon, France on the 11th June 1944.

Old Omdurman

The Queen’s Royal Lancers

Adopted by the Queen’s Royal Lancers during their 1993 formation from the 16th/5th Queen’s Royal Lancers and the 17th/21 Lancers the title is taken from a famous battle in the Sudan of 1898 when General Kitchener defeated the Mahdist forces. The Charge of the 21st Lancers at the Battle of Omdurman was against what at first thought to be a small group of Dervishes however turned out to be thousands hidden in a depression in the desert. The Lancers rode straight through, and one of the survivors of the famous charge was Winston Churchill.

Old Queens

Queen’s Royal Regiment

Once used by the Queen’s Royal Regiment prior to 1881 Queen Victoria banned its use as she objected to the fact that it contained an adoption of God Save the Queen. In spite of this it remained incorporated in the music of regiment and was played in the Officer’s mess on Mess Nights only.

Old Salamanca

The Rifles

The Rifles adopted this slow march in 2007 during the amalgamation of The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Light Infantry, The Light Infantry and the Royal Green Jackets. The composer, Major Chris Willis, learned that the Territorial Army band was to become The Salamanca Band and Bugles of the Rifles, He decided to visit the Spanish city during Easter in 2006. His curiosity regarding the site of the 1812 Napoleonic battle was well rewarded when, on the first morning of his visit he was awoken by the sound of a bell carillon drifting through his open hotel room window from a nearby church tower in the heart of the old city. The opening bugle call is an exact transcription – sounding the very same harmonic series! Thus was the inspiration from which the rest of the piece was composed.

Old Solomon Levi

(Pork, Beans & Hard Tack (Vocal Version))

8th Battalion CEF / The Prince Edward Island Regiment (RCAC) / Prince Edward Island Light Horse / Winnipeg Rifles / Royal Winnipeg Rifles

When the Canadian government set up the province of Manitoba in 1871, more settlers began to move into the Red River region. The Metis, have lived a life on the open plains, felt hemmed in and thus moved farther west. But as the movement by settlers continued the attitude of the Metis began to grow against the settlers. Louis Reil returned from Montana to lead them and on March 26th, 1885, they attached and defeated the NWMP at duck Lake. A few days later Indians killed a group of settlers at Frog Lake. The prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald sent out a force from eastern Canada to deal with the uprising. The soldiers travelled on the new CPR as far they could go then used whatever transportation was available. Music of the rebellion are reserved in three songs which represent the various groups who joined to fight the uprising. In the first, soldiers from Winnipeg complained about the rations. Unable to make contact with the Metis, they were to become known as Corporation labourers at fifty cents a day. The last two verses tell of their return home.

This song was put to the tune of Solomon Levi which appeared in the University of Toronto Song Book of 1887 just two years after the rebellion ended. The first three verses describes the outbound trip along the plains while the last two clearly defines the return by boats along the Saskatchewan River to Lake Winnipeg and then south by barge to catch a train headed to Winnipeg. The vocal version is known as Pork, Beans and Hard Tack and set to the tune of Old Solomon's Levi. The words are descriptive in nature and the melody setting an easy stride making the long easier to bear.

The Prince Edward Island Regiment (RCAC) adopted the march on its formation from the Prince Edward Island Light Horse amalgamated with the Prince Edward Island Highlanders (Hielan Laddie) in 1946.

The Winnipeg Rifles were reorganized in 1935 and pasted this march on to the new regiment, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and was used by their 8th Battalion CEF during WW1.

Old Towler

King’s Shropshire Light Infantry / Royal Air Force

The 53rd Regiment of Foot (King's Shropshire Light Infantry) adopted the march in 1881 as the tune was connected and quite popular in the county of Shropshire. The selection was popular stag hunting song sung by William Shield, who later became Master of the King's Musick in 1817. Although the Shropshire’s march was called Old Trowler it has not always so. An extract from the Regimental Music of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry states “… The first march of which there is any authentic record is I Am Ninety-Five. This is known to have been in use in 1862, on the authority of the late Lieut. Colonel Rogerson, who joined the regiment in that year. In 1875 a change was apparently made because so many other regiments had this tune as well for their march past…’ The new tune was a comic and patriotic song The Captain with his Whiskers, of which the lilting tune was said to be well suited for a march. This was used as the Regimental March, finishing oddly enough with what is probably the oldest marching tune The Men of Harlech.

In 1880 another change took place for which the Adjutant, Captain J. S. Talbot, was mainly responsible that was confirmed by him shortly before his death and by Colonel Rogerson. The new tune, which is still the Regimental March, is Old Towler, a hunting song by Shields. It was thought to have been of Shropshire origin, but Dr. Farmer, an expert on these matters says that it does not look like Shropshire music; further, stag hunting rarely took place in Shropshire.

In 1950 the Royal Air Force was granted permission by the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry to play the march on ceremonial occasions. This came about just before the Station was presented with The Freedom of Entry to the Borough of Bridgnorth. The Station Commander, Group Captain GLL Read AFC, sought permission from Major-General JML Grover, Colonel of the Shropshires to play its Regimental march during the ceremony. The Station received its permission on 29th March 1950. Bridgnorth was one of the very few RAF stations to have been endowed with the right to play a Regimental March. In achieving such distinction it established a new tradition. The letter read: "I expect that Group Captain Read, who commands the Royal Air Force Station at Bridgnorth, has already told you of his approach to me, with regard to the possible use of the Regimental March of my Regiment, by his unit, on certain public occasions; particularly on the 12th April, 1950, when his unit receives the honour of the Freedom and the right of Entry to the Borough of Bridgnorth.

I discussed the matter personally with Group Captain Read last Friday, when I told him that my Regiment greatly appreciated the honour of his proposal, and would be very happy, so far as we are concerned, to meet his wishes, subiect of course to your approval. I further told him that I would convey my Regiment's views in the matter to you personally.

We naturally appreciate this suggestion of Read's very much, both for the compliment to my Regiment and to the County, and because we are always anxious to further any aspect of inter-Service good feeling and co-operation.

We should be very happy for the Royal Air Force Station at Bridgnorth to make use of our Regimental March on the Special Occasion of the 12th April, and on any other Public occasion, i.e., of a civic nature or where the public generally are involved. If it is not an impertinence, we would suggest that it should normally be played before the Royal Air Force March.

I feel, however, that there may be consideration of higher policy involved, which may lead you to take a different view, in which case we should naturally understand. But, so far as the Regiment's view is concerned, I hope I have made our attitude clear. We should take the same attitude to any similar approach by other stations in the County of Shropshire.

May I say in conclusion that my Regiment will be happy to do anything else it can to promote a spirit of good comradeship with Units of the Royal Air Force in the County of Shropshire."

Old Twenty-Fifth

The Elgin Regiment

The Elgin Regiment used this march prior to becoming armoured and later I’m Ninety-Five and Waltzing Matilda for the trumpet band. The 25th Elgin Battalion of Infantry began in 1866 later became the Elgin Regiment and converted to armour during WW2 as the 25th Armoured Regiment. Afterwards they became armoured reconnaissance then converted on November 22, 1997 to become the 31 Combat Engineer Regiment.

On Llkla Moor

5th Tank Regiment / Duke of Wellington’s Regiment (West Riding) / No. 6 (RCAF) Group

This tune is an 18th Century Methodist hymn called Cranbrook, but is now more associated with the traditional county song. It is used in addition to The Wellesley as regimental marches of The Duke of Wellington Regiment (West Riding). At one time both battalions used this march arranged for band and bugles by Bandmaster Seed of the 1st Battalion. In addition to being played on Regimental Guest Nights it was used on recruits passing out parades. A former commanding officer of the regiment later Brigadier Webb-Carter obtained permission from the Colonel of the Regiment to have the march adopted as an extra unofficial march. It became a Yorkshire song and was traditionally associated with Yorkshire regiments. By use and adoption, it came into use of the bomber squadrons of No. 6 (RCAF) Group that were stationed in the Yorkshire area. The 10 and 12 squadrons of 6 Group were part of the R. A. F. Bomber Command. The 5th Tank Regiment use a march based on this tune and The Lincolnshire Poacher with the arrangement by Major Peter Parkes.

On Parade

Royal Logistic Corps

A close association has existed between Albert Elms and the Royal Marines School of Music. He wrote this march in the traditional marching style in three sections. In April 1993 the Royal Logistic Corps was formed from the amalgamation of several old and distinguished Corps adopting this march: The Royal Corps of Transport (Wait for the Wagon), The Royal Army Ordnance Corps (The Village Blacksmith), Royal Pioneer Corps (Pioneer Corps) Army Catering Corps and Postal (Sugar and Spice) and Courier Service of the Royal Engineers (First Post).

On Richmond Hill Baht ‘at

(The Lass of Richmond Hill, and Ilkley Moor Baht'at)

The march was composed by a Yorkshire Bandmaster Wood while he serving with the 3rd Battalion, The Queen’s Regiment stationed at Catterick near Richmond, North Yorkshire. Translated, On Ilka Moor without a hat and it is said that this would bring ones death through a cold. This tune is made up from two well known Yorkshire songs, The Lass of Richmond Hill, and Ilkley Moor Baht'at and was written to commemorate twenty-five years of recruiting in the Yorkshire area.

On the Quarter Deck

3rd Royal Tank Regiment

The quarterdeck is the after part of the upper deck of a ship, usually reserved for officers. Throughout history many a ships captain would have commanded his vessel from here such as Drake, Nelson and Beatty. The march recalls the victories of all the great English sea Captains who made England a world naval power. In port the officer of the deck on naval vessels stood his watch from here.

Alford composed this march for the WW1 British naval officers in 1917, the same year in which The Middy was dedicated to the Midshipmen. Although Alford used the evenly divisibly 2/4 meter signatures for most of his marches, his choice of 6/8 meters for this lilting sailing march seems perfectly appropriate.

The choice of this march for the 3rd Tank Regiment would seem odd at first but the reason lies in the crushing defeat the third inflicted on the Royal Navy in the Portsmouth Whaler Sailing Championship in 1948. The fact that the earliest tanks contained 6 pounder guns from the Naval Division lends a certain historical significance to the march.

One and All

16th/22nd Saskatchewan Horse / 32nd Regiment of Foot / Battleford Light Infantry (16th/22nd Saskatchewan Horse) / Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry

The Regimental quick march of The Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry consisted of two Cornish tunes, One and All and Shall Trelaweny Die? The motto on the coat-of arms of the County of Cornwall is where the march takes its name.

The combination of two marches One and All (32nd Foot) and Trelawney (46th Foot) was used for the new regimental march of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry formed in 1881. The story of this tune is uncommon and relates to a former commanding officer. Colonel Willyams commanded the Royal Cornwall Rangers Militia in 1811 and he feared Napoleon would attack Ireland. The Rangers volunteered to go to Ireland where they stayed and for their loyality the king honoured them with the title Royal Cornwall Light Infantry. Lieutenant-Colonel James Brydges-Willyams had a talent of poetry and wrote a verse on the occasion of their departure. The words were meant to exhilarate the light infantry and fit in with the rollicking tune called One and All. The outcome of the marriage between the poem and tune would go beyond the wildest dream of the Colonel.

In Canada both the Battleford Light Infantry (16th/22nd Saskatchewan Horse) and the 16th/22nd Saskatchewan Horse adopted the march and used it throughout their histories until their disbandment in 1946.

O’Neill’s War March - The Bard of Armagh

The Royal Irish Fusiliers

The Bard of Armagh is an Irish ballad and often attributed to Patrick Donnelly. He was made Bishop of Dromore in 1697, the same year as the enactment of the Bishops Banishment Act. Donnelly is believed to have taken the name of the travelling harper Phelim Brady. The song itself, like many heroic, rebel outlaw ballads, dates from the mid 19th century. The same melody is used in the songs The Sailor Cut Down in his Prime and The Streets of Laredo.

The Royal Irish Fusiliers wasraised originally as 87th (Prince of Wales's Irish) Regiment of Foot in 1793 and later combined with 89th (The Princess Victoria's) Regiment of Foot in 1881. It was given the title "The Royal Irish Fusiliers" in 1827.The regiment's first title in 1881 was Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers) later changed in 1920 to The Royal Irish Fusiliers (Princess Victoria's). In 1968 the regiment was amalgamated with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Royal Ulster Rifles to become the Royal Irish Rangers. In 1992 the present title of the Royal Irish Regiment was adopted. The Royal Irish Fusiliers adopted this march with the song dating from the mid 19th century.

Onward Christian Soldiers

Canadian Forces Chaplian’s Branch / Royal Army Chaplains’ Department

"Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before." is a song most of us sang as children. The words were written 150 years ago in England for the Horbury Bridge Mission's Pentecost children's parade. The festival is called Whit-Monday and the children sang it as "Hymn for Procession with Cross and Banners" when they marched from Horbury Bridge to the next village. Poet and rector, Sabine Baring-Gould, wrote thirty years later, "It was written in great haste, and I am afraid some of the rhymes are faulty.  Certainly nothing has surprised me more than its popularity."  Arthur Sullivan penned the now traditional tune seven years after that first parade. It was later introduced as a War Cry for the Salvation Army in 1914 and over the years it never failed to stir the soul.

Chaplains were first commissioned in the Army in 1662 the year Parliament accepted the Reformed Prayer Book. The present Royal Army Chaplains’ Department was created in 1858. It consisted of 20 Staff Chaplains and 35 Assistant Chaplains, all belonging to the Church of England. They were paid under the Chaplains Warrant of 1847. In the revised Warrant of 1858, 19 Roman Catholic priests and 5 Presbyterian ministers were added to the Department. Roman Catholics and Presbyterians were paid as Acting Chaplains since 1836, but this is the first occasion of Chaplains of denominations other than the Church of England being granted commissions. The title “Royal” added in 1919. The Department can boast four Victoria Crosses, one during the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880 and three during World war one.

The Branch itself was formed at the time of unification when the chaplain’s services of the Royal Canadian Air Force, The Royal Canadian Navy and The Royal Canadian Army Chaplains Corps were combined into one branch. The Branch can boast one Victoria Cross that was won by Padre John Foote, a Protestant chaplain serving with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry during the 1942 Dieppe Raid. Foote faced constant danger while assisting the wounded on the fire-swept beach. Although he could have boarded landing craft on numerous occasions, he chose to stay with the Canadians ashore and found himself a prisoner of war for the next three years.

The march was used by the Canadian Forces Chaplian’s Branch before the major change of cap and music now Hymn of Joy. Before the change their motto and cap badge reached back into antiquity for form and significance. The two main symbols, the Maltese Cross and Royal Crown, have inspired Christian fighting men throughout the centuries. The new 2006 cap badge was adopted in order to better represent the diversity of Canadian society, and reflect the multi-faith nature of today’s chaplaincy. The old Branch cap badge was replaced with three new badges. The new badges would retain the crowned wreath of red maple leaves and central blue circle; the Maltese Cross behind the circle would be removed and on the circle would be a different symbol for each faith tradition: for Christian chaplains the Maltese cross which has long been associated with Christian chaplaincy; Jewish chaplains wear the symbol of the tablets of the Law and the Magen David (the star of David) and Muslim chaplains will wear the crescent. A scroll with the motto VOCATIO AD SERVITIUM would be placed below the circle.

Orange and Blue

Royal Highland Fusiliers

Little is known about the march’s background but the Royal Highland Fusiliers S COMPANY used it as a company march.

Our Challange

Canadian Forces Leadership and Language Academy

The 1968 Languages Act 1968 prompted the Department of National Defence (DND) to give more impetus to language training in the Canadian Forces (CF). The demand for language training overtaxed the facility at Canadian Forces Base Saint-Jean (CFB St-Jean) and in July 1972 the English Language Training Unit (ELTU) was founded. Located at Canadian Forces Base Borden (CFB Borden), its first students arrived in September of that year. In March 1978, the ELTU was renamed Canadian Forces Language School Borden (CFLS Borden). Effective April 1978, all civilian language-training staff of the Public Service Commission previously working for DND under contract, became direct employees of DND. CFLS Borden continued to offer both French and English language courses for CF personnel, with an emphasis on military activities and continuation training as an integral part of language training. In August 1990, and as part of a general decentralization of functions and responsibilities relating to language training, CFLS Borden was mandated to design, distribute, and maintain on a national basis DND's English-language curricula and tests.

In July 1992, the Canadian Forces Leadership Academy (CFLA) and CFLS Borden amalgamated to form the Canadian Forces Academy of Leadership and Languages (CFALL), and in September of that year, CFALL moved to new premises vacated by the Base Borden Collegiate Institute.

In February 1995, Canadian Forces Leadership and Specialized Training Center (CFLSTC) came into being with the amalgamation of the Canadian Forces School of Physical Education and Recreation (CFSPER), Canadian Forces Training Development Center (CFTDC) and CFALL.

Effective August 1996 the language-training activities of the Canadian Forces Language School Teaching Company (CFLSTC) were regrouped as Canadian Forces Language School (Ottawa) Detachment Borden (CFLS (O) Det Borden). In January 1993, the clientele for English-Language Training at CFLS (O) Det Borden started coming from a number of European nations under the auspices of the Military Training Assistance programme (MTAP), and the Partnership for Peace programme (PfP). These students consisted of military officers and senior civilian employees from Ministries of Defence of various countries.

As a result of the merger of the three largest language schools in the Canadian Forces in 1999, the CFLS (Ottawa) Detachment Borden was renamed Canadian Forces Language School (Detachment) Borden.

Over the Chindwin

Queen’s Own Highlanders

The HQ Company, Queen’s Own Highlanders, used the tune that was composed by Pipe Major MaCrae of the 1st Camerons during the Burma Campaign. The distinguished actions fought by the 1st Seaforth at Imphal and the 1st Camerons at Kohima, before the crossing of the River Chindwin in late 1944, earned the Regiment two of the greatest Battle Honours in WW2.

Over the Hills and Far Away

38th Regiment of Foot / The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort’s Own)

This tune was one of the more popular tunes played and sung by British soldiers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The song has an anonymous composition and uncertain date however it may have been written around 1796 because it appeared in George Farquhar’s play The Recruiting Officer. It appeared in number of 18th century plays most notably John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera (1727). The lyrics of the song are primarily concerned with recruitment and it was in this way that Farquhar chose to utilize it in his play. Shipp’s reaction provides a powerful testimony to the effectiveness of its employment as spur to enlistment. Although not widely used during the Seven Years Wars or the American War of Independence, it did surface in the French Wars of 1793-1815. The song was generally played as a loth-to-depart when a regiment left it garrison.

During the Peninsular War the Light Division composed of Rifle and Light infantry regiments gained a high reputation especially in the role of scouting and skirmishing many times well ahead of the main column. The regiments had bugle bands that played various tunes such as this tune. One regiment was The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort’s Own) who had used the tune as regimental march past until 1852 when I‘m Ninety-Five was adopted. The 38th Regiment of Foot later becoming the South Staffordshire Regiment in 1881 also used it. In the early part of the 1930s the march was reintroduced as the regimental assembly march.

In 1893 Frederick Delius composed a tune for orchestra published four years later. Farquhar may have borrowed one established soldier’s tune for the Recruiting Officer but he undoubtedly popularized this tune finding its way into army music. The words were not much different from those above. The song became popular with followers of the ITV series Sharpe sung by John Tams who played Rifleman Harris.
