Les Morton's Men by David Blagrove We are Les Morton's men We are the Willow Wren. None get before us, when we go for orders We don't care where the bloody hell we go And when we're hammering round the Fenny Pound You will hear the Company men: "Keep up your waters, Lock up your daughters! Here comes the Willow Wren!" David Blagrove stated that this was 'written when I worked for Willow Wren 1962-63 and inspired by a very similar song sung in NAAFIs by sundry Army units. As a Territorial in the 1950s I recall the 5th Bn Gloucestershire Regt in particular singing this, starting "We are the Gloucester boys"' Tune "Who were you with last night" An article from the June 2015 issue of Towpath Talk which gives additional information about Leslie Morton and David Blagrove can be viewed as a pdf.
