I know we never sang any dirty songs in the Marine Corps, and I'm quite sure the A&S's were the same.

(If anybody knows the lyrics, pass them on and I'll get you some of Burns's dirty poems.)
There's a great story from the North African campaign where Sir Winston was down to review the troops. The Beeb was recording the event to broadcast back home, but had to scrap the tape when some Jocks began to sing the infamous "Ball o' Kerrimuir" as they marched past the reviewing stand. Churchill reportedly broke into a broad grin when he recognised the song.
