A number of members of the CEFSG have been submitting the music and/or lyrics of the unit songs or tributes.  The following list will be updated as more information is provided.  To start with, this utility contains the links to the FORUM page with the words, but we can advance beyond that and include the words here, as well as the music (WAV files) if there is an interest.  The artillery has now joined the infantry is this grouping as well.
