- The traditional song "Love Farewell" arranged and sung by John Tams.
The video clips are from "Sharpe's Eagle".
I thought I heard the Colonel crying
March brave boys there's no denying
Cannons roaring - drums abeating
March brave boys there's no retreating
Love Farewell
If I should fall in far off battle
Cannons roar and rifles rattle
Thoughts fly homeward - words unspoken
Valiant hearts are oftimes broken
Love Farewell
Will you go or will you tarry
Will you wait or will you marry
Would this moment last for ever
Kiss me now and leave me never
Love Farewell
I thought I heard the Colonel crying
March brave boys there's no denying
Cannons roaring - drums abeating
March brave boys there's no retreating
Love Farewell
This always makes me think of the Battle of the Imjin River
On St George's Day 1951 the 29th Infantry Brigade was attacked by the Chinese 63rd Army, being outnumbered 7:1. The 29th fought at successful delaying action protecting units to their rear, but at a cost. 141 British and 12 Belgian dead, 1,091 missing wounded and captured, and the 1st Bn the Gloucestershire Regiment was wiped out. Out of a battalion of around 700 fewer than 60 returned to brigade lines, the rest were killed or captured. Most of the survivors came from single party from D Company under the command of the Company Second in Command Captain Mike Harvey, who led a group of 5 officers and 41 men of D Company in a circuitous route and avoided capture.
A full quarter of Brigade's strength gone, and an entire Battalion lost. Being a Westcountryman this is a deeply moving episode for me, that's my people that got wiped out.
But there's one little snapshot that this song could have been written about, on the second day of the fighting Lt Col Kingsley Foster of the 1st Bn Royal Northumberland Fusiliers was receiving casualty reports for his men, and broke down in tears over the news that so many people he knew had died. So many friends, colleagues, men that were like his sons, gone. Foster would be killed in action on the third day, leading his men off the battlefield as they withdrew
one of the finest war dramas ever created. thanks for the upload
Pleasure, glad you enjoyed it Jonathan.
Richard Sharpe and Theresa Moraino, love made in heaven!
Bloody great song, sung by John Tamms, and a a bloody great series from 90s, well done Mr.Bean.
Easy spot in my top 100 perfeft songs of all time. Seriously perfect.
I lost count how many times I replayed this today. Shouldn't have watched Sharpe's mission.
Same here
Everyone needs a friend like Patrick Harper.
Some of us are lucky to have friends like Harper. Forged brothers through training and operations. CFGB.
I tear up every time I hear this
I tear up whenever I try and sing it
Sharpy, cracking. John's voice say no more .
Atmospheric song, great voice John.

Sharpe is the goat

This version is better than the rock band version to me. Wish there was one though like this with The Last Post playing behind it.
