Garry Owen was also known as a marching song for Custer's 7th Cavalry.

[@jerryrose2083]

rufftele, NOT “Garry Owen”. “The Garryowen”. Garryowen was a suburb of Limerick, Ireland. Now it’s a part of the city, no longer a suburb. Translated into English it is “Garden of John”.

mary jane Prouty German Americans are the largest group...study Wikipedia. Prussian General von Steuben ("Steuben-parade") saved the revolution. General Custer (=former German "Köster"), Kevin Costner (=also former German "Köster") - crying shame you fight us in the World Wars. BTW - Germans even founded "West-Point"...but this will n o t disgrate the achievements of the Irish.

Especially in those days. In fact, Irish Nationalism was at it's peak in 1798. Also in America, a good number of Washington's men were Irish, and used the green flag with golden harp in the battlefields.

[@thehobbster6367]

Exactly. Many US Prez had Scots-Irish backgrounds, all that "need not apply" very exaggerated. Irish dominated police and later courts, many Irish judges in NY still.

[@jspee1965]

As did the Irish on both sides of the wrong war in the 1860's. They murdered each other relentlessly.. terrible.

[@WintersFinalstand]

My first comments were designed to be that we as a people need to band together and not look out for our sole interests. I believe that fractured we will fall...and I despair at that. The Civil war nearly caused something like it and I look on it as a lesson for the future. When I said against distribution...I am saying as before...My money is my money...I will house..tend and feed people as I can...but I will not work for my salary and give them a free ticket in life at the same time.

In 2019 I visited ‘Last Stand Hill’ at Little Big Horn. Looking around at all the Cenotaph stones marking the fallen - it must have been an awful place to do battle. The only worse battleground I have seen is Culloden. And I served in Korea.

[@BigLisaFan]

Worst place I ever saw was Puys just to the west of Dieppe in France. Sheer cliffs either side of the landing beach and a narrow V valley to get off the beach in. Needless to say the attacking soldiers, save for a few, never got off the beach. The main beach at Dieppe has headlands to the east and west and totally open ground. Ideal for defense and a killing ground for soldiers.

[@charleschapman6810]

Fredrick'sburgisa great example of "for want of a nail."Burnsides' maneuver was predicated on getting the army's pontoon bridging gearing his army oppositeFredericksberg before Lee could concentrate there. In one of the few occasion when the Union Army actually out-foxed Robert E. Lee, he got his army to the river bank ahead of Lee. But the pontoons didn't show up-and he frittered away his advantage by waiting for them.By the times the bridges were emplaced, so was th Army of Northern Virginia, and the crossing became a frontal attack dug-inAmerican regularson higher ground. Which is never a good idea!

Actually it's originally a very old Irish song dating back to 1791, and most likely a march of the Irishmen in the 1798's rebellion. The earliest words set to the tune was An Spailpín Fánach. The song's third verse includes "Dublin is burnt away and Galway will be taken, we'll have flames on bonfires," after they were burned by British troops. It's a very anti-British tune, and quite ironic that regiments of the British army have stole it as a marching song.

Duxmontis 98, would you please identify the source of this recording? The male chorus singing "Yellow Rose..." are obviously not American, probably not native English speakers. For instance, I've seen videos of the Soviet Red Army Chorus singing songs from other countries, and they are brilliant singers. I'm very curious to know who this is, when and where it was recorded, etc. Any details would be greatly appreciated.

Gary Owen is an Irish air. sung long before the US 7th cavalry got it, by British troops.

[@29091947]

Nobody mentioned that "a Gary Owen" is a term used in rugby. Why it is used and what it means I do not know

[@jspee1965]

Brit Light Cavalry ;)

[@bgbout]

John Armstrong - In rugby you are not allowed to pass the ball forward - but you can kick it to be caught by team mates who were level or behind you when the ball is kicked. A garyowen is a ball kicked high - but not particularly far - to give team mates the opportunity to run past the kicker to catch the ball in front of him or her. It is quite risky (a bit like a hail mary in American football?) - members of the opposing team will also be challenging for the ball - but can be quite effective if successful. It is named after the Irish rugby club that became synonymous with the tactic in the 1920s.

[@IronPiedmont]

[@vonmazur1]

Yes they did, a lot of Irish immigrants were drafted into the Yankee Army for the War...They all knew the song and it became part of the U S Army heritage...

[@robertshorthill4153]

vonmazur 1. Yes, that is correct, however, with the poor, nearly destitute Irishmen, unable to make a decent living in America, had little choice but to join the US Army. They were paid $13 a month, had free food, a roof of some sort ( sometimes only a flimsy tent on the Powder River in May, June, and July -- very brutal conditions, to be sure.) They mostly had little if any skills. They learned quickly the ways of army life, whether they liked it or not. Many did and were proud to be part of the Union. After all, they were no longer destitute. There was no need to spend money, so they possibly sent money home to wives and families, either in Ireland or far away to New York. They most likely saved enough for drink, tho. Their lot was surely not a pleasant one

[@robertarmitage1899]

Garry Owen was an Irish song known to have been around in the 1790tys, but why it has an obviously Welsh Christian and surname, for its title, I do not know.

[@wbhenderson]

+Robert Armitage Actually, the title of the tune is not two words, as in "Garry Owen," but "The Garryowen," after a section of the city of Limerick, Ireland. So, it's originally an Irish tune, with an admittedly somewhat Wels-sounding name. Many folks around the world could consider it to be an American tune, since it became with Custer's 7th United States Cavalry Regiment. Hope this clears things up a bit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garryowen_(air)

[@robertarmitage1899]

+Bryant Henderson Thanks, I had often wondered about it.

[@robertarmitage1899]

+Bryant Henderson The American connection is understandable, from its use in films and, lets not forget that Irish tunes were very popular there in the late 19th century. Indeed the Irish Americans brought out a few of their own. The best selling song (sheet music) in America, of 1876, the year of Custer's last stand, was, "I'll take you home again, Kathleen."

[@dannyboy5517]

It does not have a welsh connection Garryowen is a loose translation of the of the Irish Garrie Eoin meaning Johns Garden an area close to Limerick city It was in Garryowen that a battery of guns was placed for the defence of Limerick it was called the Black Battery THE battle and siege was in 1691 Limerick held out to an honourable truce and marched out to Garryowen and glory

[@shoobee101]

the American connection is that there was a shit ton of Irish recruited into Federal service for citizenship. theyd land from ireland,be given some bread,and told theyd be immediate citizens for a commitment of service. a movie that touches base on that is gangs of new york

Everyone who views these KZbin videos on Garryowen should listen to a song by Tim O'brien called Mick Ryan's Lament. Look it up -- it's there. It may change your thinking about what the 7th and the battle was all about. I've never considered Custer or the government policies conserning the native americans as "heroic". The men of the 7th that were wiped out, died needlessly, but that was the policies of the times, sadly.

[@robertshorthill4153]
