U.S. Field Artillery

U.S. Field Artillery is a patriotic military march of the U.S. Army written in 1917 by John Philip Sousa. The refrain is the "Caissons Go Rolling Along" and is often sung by the band members when it is first played. Part A is not repeated and the refrain is only played twice, following style IABBCDC.

Today, the song is the official song of the U.S. Army and is called "The Army Goes Rolling Along."

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or artillery:

    “He stung me first and stung me afterward.
    He rolled me off the field head over heels
    And would not listen to my explanations.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
