KITCHENER'S ARMY [1]. AKA and see "George the Fifth's Army," "George's Army March," "King George V's Army." Scottish, March (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. Paul Stewart Cranford notes that Cape Breton fiddlers often play the tune ABDC. Composed by Pipe Major George S. MacLennan (or McLennan), in honor of the forces of Lord Kitchener, commander of the British Army during World War 1. However, there is some confusion of titles between "Kitchener's Army" and "King George V's Army", two distinct tunes albeit both composed by McLennan; further obfusticating the issue is that McLennan also composed a 6/8 time "Kitchener's Army (2)."
