Light Infantry Song

A tune of the American War of song, celebrating the British Army Light Infantry, was printed in Rivington’s Royal Gazette, at New York, in 1778. It was said to have been written by an Americal Loyalist. _______________________________________________________ For battle prepared in their country’s just cause Their king to avenge and support all his laws, As fierce as the tiger, as swift as the roe, The British Light Infantry rush on their foe. Though rebels unnumbered oppose their career
