At the end of the first day of the Battle of the Somme the bodies of around 160 men of the Devonshire Regiment were retrieved from where they had fallen in No-Mans-Land. They were carried back to the British Front Line trench position and buried in a section of the trench near a small wood called Mansell Copse. A stone memorial now stands at the entrance to the cemetery bearing the words: “The Devonshires Held this Trench, the Devonshires Hold it Still”

The Courage & Sacrifice of men like those Men of The Devonshire Regiment gave me & all the freedom we enjoy today , although laid to rest in a foreign land they will always be in Devon , they are now at rest BUT should & will not ever be forgotten .

My grandfather was in the First World War, and saw action at the Somme. My father and two of his brothers were in the Second World War. A simple song but so beautiful and moving. One of the best I`ve heard recently. The harmonica really kifts it. John Tams has the most wonderful voice. Some of the repeated lines really affect me: 'the light upon the lea', 'peace walks upon this blessed land', goodwill upon all earth', 'and those who walked in war, in peace, and who walked this land', 'their souls shall never cease', 'stand to me bonny lads', 'hold the line right steady', 'this day shall bear your name'. Difficult to listen to it in the knowledge of British history. I really must see the stage show of 'War Horse'.

I've wanted to sing this song for at least 3 years but every time I try, even 'in private' I just end up in tears. It's sentiments are so beautiful and John's voice makes me shiver. Wonderful

A John Tams classic - he must be making a fortune, having written all the Warhorse songs, which are being sung every night around the world in theatres etc., but still obviously enjoys going round the UK, putting on intimate concerts with his mate, Barry Coope (from Coope Boyes and Simpson)

+Mark Robinson Re. Tams and War Horse. I hope so. IF he's making a fortune now, he sure has it to him. Wonderful bloke.

If you ever get a chance to see Coope Boyes and Simpson - do yourself a favour and see them. If you like this track, you'll probably love what they do a capella. They combine humour, pathos, social comment - in fact, all that 'folk' singers should sing about.

It's 'Stand To', which is an alert, everybody man their positions. The 'bonny lads' is normal speech in the North East. Beautiful track.

I think this is actually "Devonshire Carol" from "War Horse". What a fantastic song.
@sellack14 жыл бұрын
The song is definitely "The Devonshire Carol" but its a far older tune than the "War Horse" soundtrack. The song "Stand Too" also is prevalent - a song about the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) in the trenches of WW1 It doesn't get better than this !!

Devonshire Carol (John Tams) The lambkin in the manger The light upon the leaves The moor that leads to glory The shepherds bend their knee And all are wrapped grace And all are gifted mirth Peace walks upon this blessed land x3 Goodwill upon all earth The ploughboy and his traces The line upon the land Holds gift by natures graces A bounty to the man And all are wrapped in grace And all are gifted mirth Peace walks upon this blessed land x 3 Goodwill upon all earth
