Ah, but WHICH June Tabor version of the song? She's recorded it twice, and the (even) better of the two versions is on "We died in Hell . . they called it Paschendaele", which was a live recordings of the first of the Paschendaele peace concerts (#1) and is probably the most treasured item in our CD collection.

Also - not so long ago there was a discussion of this song, and its "partial adoption" by the Irish Republican "faction", over on rec.music.folk, in which Steven Suffit's "Willie McBride's reply" featured quite extensively. Strong opinions on a number of sides, but I felt that a lot of interesting points were made.

#1 Actually that year there was a series of concerts and the CD is compiled from several of them.
