This is my instrumental version of Eric Bogle's WWI song "No Man's Land", better known as either "The Green Fields Of France" or "Willie McBride". Transcription by Alf Warnock.

Clear melody playing as usual, Martin.
That MM really suits this tune Martin. Nice and easy, very pleasant..., almost Christian like.
Thanks, Frank and Frithjof. Some song airs work better as instrumental than others, but this one I think is lovely on mandolin. Also easier to get the phrasing right if you can sing along with the words in your head. Martin
