%% The title of this tune reflects the constant tendency of fifers to give their tunes names associaated
%% with things military, or else commemorative of famous historical figures, events, or places. This
%% particular air seems to have a different title whenever it is found. Other sets include O'Neill MI,
%% No.1813, I Won't Be a Nun; Roche, II, No.341, The Officer on Guard; MacDonald Gesto, p.129,
%% Napoleon Crossing the Alps; Perron, I, No.51, Dennis Murphy's Hornpipe. Some tunes that seem
%% closely related, and that suggest the derivation of our march tune from some song air are Ford,
%% p.37, Pewter Mug; White Ex, p.37, The Tin-Ware Lass; and Joyce 1909, No.330, the Ladies Dressed
%% in Their Garments So Green.
