Sabaton should make the entire Gudmundsson oeuvre, one book at a time, into songs.

On Artillery would be awesome.

Thank you, My Friends! You do me honor. Still, I wonder if the lads at Sabaton could find a rhyme for 'on-carriage recoil absorbing mechanism'.

A favorite band for my tanker son in law, the metal is too heavy for me so I’ll stick with Al Stewart, Stan Rogers, and others for history tunes

Love the idea, not sure I could sit through a whole song.

Nearly made a whole song. Now searching for obscure album track about Australian cutting out tactics, the creeping barrage and British fire and movement stacks. 😉

I still have my copy that you signed for me at the MCA bookstore. I reread it for the third time last year. Semper Fi.

It's so great to hear they had it right. They seem to really care about that kind of stuff. My favorite modern band, even though I've only listened to five or six of their songs. (I don't listen to much music.)

Sabaton for the power metal, Amon Amarth for the spirit of the warrior!
