Good grief! The lady who used to co-present "The Generation Game" with Bruce Forsyth!! I hadn't realised she'd done this. Very nice indeed. Almost Barbara Dickson...
The lyric of the song is equally apt for WWI, but it was originally written in response to the Scots' heavy defeat by the English at Flodden. Isla was quite a weel kent singer up here before she got in tow with Larry Grayson (I don't think it was Brucie). I seem to recall her TV career came to a halt following some (alleged) dallying with a local gangster.

.................although this could all just be the wanderings of an age-befuddled mind.

Yes. It WAS Larry Grayson - not Forsyth. "Shut that door" on your way out, @leejohnson....
