Or the Soldiers of the Queen sung in 1899 during the Boer War. Or for that matter every bagpipe music and Jacobite song from Scotland. For example Johnny Cope sung after the battle or Preston Pans 1745 | |

And how about the theme song from "When We Were Soldiers" as they load onto the Hueys. I downloaded it from the internet and I can't remember the name of the Irish or Scotsman (I'm gonna get killed for this) that sings it. Starts off "Lay me down....." Awesome!!
How abot the "Ballad of the Green Berets"?
