Sgt. MacKenzie

Sgt. MacKenzie is a Scots Dirge that I just love. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. I came aware of from the sound track from the motion picture: “We Were Soldiers Once”.

Go to this Link to listen to it. When the page opens, The soundtrack version will begin playing, after it completes: scroll down to the MacKenzie Tartan, just below it is a “green” Link: click this to hear the original version, the really tearful one!

The story on how the song came to be written is also quite interesting.
