Special thanks to Dan Munson for providing lyrics and his willingness to lead a group of drunken and rowdy soldiers in song on occasion. His efforts greatly helped inspire this work. Also to Martin Askentowitz for helping to obtain copies of some of this material and to Benjamin Tubb for providing many of the Midi files.
