Re: Help! Title of Bagpipe music in "Gunga Din"

Our question to the rabble is, what is the tune being played on the bagpipes just before the bugle sounds. My Dad says the at least some of the words are "poor Charlie's off to war, will he ere come back again..." but neither of us can place the title or any more words.
Can the Great Rabble help?
EagleJCS is correct; "Will Ye No Come Back Again":
