‘Bang Upon the Big Drum’ is a British patriotic song written in the late 19th century about the 2nd Anglo-Afghan war. It mentions life as a British soldier, leaving England to go fight in India and subduing the Afghans, and occupying Afghanistan’s capital and the ‘Bala Hisar’.
Recording done by the band ‘The Druids’ I don’t own the music in any way.

@@avus-kw2f213 well simply because most members of the Commonwealth decided to become republics only a few like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc still have the British monarch as their head of state (independent but with the same head of state.)
