If you're English born and bred, you should have that sense of longing since birth. The issue is that you lost it.

[@johnmacaroni105]

Yes, immerse yourself in English culture.

The Staffordshires WW1.
A division that went from being cut down in the somme.
Too being the first allied troops too breach the Hidenburg line.
With ferocity, skill , and perfect planning.

This is the tune to the unofficial Cornish anthem "Trelawny" (the official Cornish national anthem is "Bro Goth Agan Tasow").

[@mauzki-]

its more likely they root from the same tune rater then the staffordshire one copying the cornish one.
