Музыка
The Girl I Left Behind Me - a British March and Patriotic song, shown with images of soldiers leaving their sweethearts for battle during the Colonial era and Napoleonic Wars.
"The Girl I Left Behind", also known as "The Girl I Left Behind Me", is an English folk song dating back to the Elizabethan era. It is said to have been played when soldiers left for war or a naval vessel set sail. According to other sources the song originated in 1758 when English Admirals Hawke and Rodney were observing the French fleet. The first printed text of the song appeared in Dublin in 1791. A popular tune with several variations, "The Girl I Left Behind Me", may have been imported into America around 1650 as 'Brighton Camp', of which a copy dating from around 1796 resides in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

I definitely see the similarities. Made around the same time too I believe. Regardless, both popular in their respective nations during the Napoleonic wars.
Oh look, it's another generic channel uploading recordings with no mention of who it's from.
