The Battle of the Somme
A bagpipe melody from World War I composed by piper William Laurie (1881-1916) to commemorate one of the deadliest battles, the Battle of the Somme which began July 1916 with heavy losses from day one; in the end it will result 620.000 losses among the Allies and about 450.000 among the German rows: the melody is in 9/8 and it is considered a retreat march, not necessarily as a specific military maneuver. Laurie (or Lawrie) participated in the battle with the 8th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Lawrie and John MacLellan served in the same band during the war), but severely tried by the wounds and life in the trench fell seriously ill and he was repatriated England where he died in November of the same year.

The attribution is not correct, the Dubliners recorded in the same track two melodies the first instrumental titled Battle or the Somme and the second sung entitled "Freedom Come-All-Ye" (text written by Hamish Henderson on "The Bloody Fields of Flanders ")
