The YD Victory Song | Soldiers' Mail

The YD Victory Song

(Sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)

“Now the War is over,

We’re headed for the coast,

The grand YD Division

Which the papers never boast.

We’ve done our bit and done it well,

So now we’ll drink a toast

To our General Edwards.

We belong to the YD,

We belong to the YD,

We belong to the YD,

New England’s Volunteers.”
