My great great grandfather fought in the 28th Battery Royal Field Artillery, he fought at collenso, Spion kop, the relief of Ladysmith and many other battles in the Transvaal. On May 29th 1901 he was promoted to bombardier for holding off a Boer attack by himself with a artillery piece while everyone including him were wounded or dead, when the cartridges were ignited by bullets he went to the limber for more. He returned home on May 26th 1902. God bless him
My great-grandfather was in the Boer war. His daughter, my grandmother, was born in 1901 while he wasstill serving in South Africa. She died in 1973 and is buried in Kippax churchyard, England. Her full name was Leah Pretoria Mafeking (nee Powell) Liversidge.
My great uncle fought in the Boer war, and in WWI, earning 3 medals and 2 rose clasps. I adored him..... he died when I was 7, but I miss him still.........😢❤
Good old Collingwood forever, They know how to play the game. Side by side, they stick together, To uphold the Magpies name. See, the barrackers are shouting, As all barrackers should. Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk, For the good old Collingwood.
Lyrics in order for this version: _I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Grey,_ _It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Grey,_ _There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere,_ _It's the time to do and dare, Dolly Grey._ _Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Grey,_ _Sounding through the village street, Dolly Grey,_ _It is the tramp of soldiers' feet, in their uniforms so neat, so goodbye until we meet, Dolly Grey,_ _Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go,_ _Something tells me I am needed at the front, to fight the foe,_ _See - the soldier boys are marching, and I can no longer stay,_ _Hark - I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey._ _Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go,_ _Something tells me I am needed, at the front to fight the foe,_ _See - the soldier boys are marching, and I can no longer stay,_ _Hark - I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey,_ _Hark - I hear the bugle calling, good-bye Do-lly Grey!_
one of Sir Alfred Milners ideas was that the boer war would weld the nascent British Cape and Natal colonists and settlers into a strong South Africa. He technically got more than he wanted as even the colonies like Canada and the Oceanic ones sent contingents
Right at the beginning of this vid the Union Flag is flapping at the right hand side; indicating that the flag pole is on the left. Therefore the flag is being flown upside down. Very naughty.
You can date the age of an Australian football club by its club song. Collingwood was a working-class suburb in inner Melbourne whose football club was established in 1891. A substantial number of Australians fought in the Boer War, so this song would have been well-known. It's a bit later than the establishment date, though: does anyone know if the club had an earlier song?

For the lads who gave their lives at Magersfontein, Ladysmith, Talana Hill, Spion Kop and scores of other battles - glory to them always !

Side by side, they stick together,
To uphold the Magpies name.

As all barrackers should.
Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk,
For the good old Collingwood.
Sure hope I don’t hear this song at the end of the grand final
@@2HELMETS🎉🎉
one of the best ive ever heard!
My all-time favourite war-song - and Edward Woodward really does it justice.
An excellent rendition from Edward Woodward, as you say.
Its astonishing to see General Hamilton taking the salute! One can clearly his twisted left arm, due to wound recieved in his wrist at Majuba in 1881
I watched Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, found this song and now I absolutely love it!
Lyrics in order for this version:
_I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Grey,_
_It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Grey,_
_There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere,_
_It's the time to do and dare, Dolly Grey._
_Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Grey,_
_Sounding through the village street, Dolly Grey,_
_It is the tramp of soldiers' feet, in their uniforms so neat, so goodbye until we meet, Dolly Grey,_
_Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go,_
_Something tells me I am needed at the front, to fight the foe,_
_See - the soldier boys are marching, and I can no longer stay,_
_Hark - I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey._
_Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go,_
_Something tells me I am needed, at the front to fight the foe,_
_See - the soldier boys are marching, and I can no longer stay,_
_Hark - I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey,_
_Hark - I hear the bugle calling, good-bye Do-lly Grey!_
Long live our valiant warriors!
Love this song
Good old Collingwood Forever!
Great song, and the pictures pair very nicely with it excellent.
Carn the mighty magpies
Edward Woodward
My grandfather was in the Boer War he was 28 and he met my Nan when she was a 17yrs old girl and they got married in 1907 when my grandmother was 19

Originally this tune was written for the Spanish-American war, as the original lyrics refer to the blue uniforms of the United States Military
The amount of overlap between songs in the anglo-sphere is staggering tbh.
Was in Toy Soldiers, a game I played as a kid, so it's quite nostalgic for me weirdly enough
I LOVE IT.
De boeren oorlog begon in 1880 Leuk liedje trouwens 👍

if you watch butch Cassidy and the sundance kid- this is being sung in the cat house when they are on the run form the bounty hunters
UP THE MAGGIES
Sounds like Edward Woodward

John raynsford , Austin Morley , Thompson Martin and Harold Starley. Boer war soldiers and Austin was a sailor
Great Song!
This one appears in Lawrence of Arabia, it is sang by the highlanders in trucks
I doubt they’re Highlanders in the truck, they sound south east English.
