The Army Goes Rolling Along : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Army Goes Rolling Along "The Army Goes Rolling Along" is the official song of the United States Army〔(Army Regulation 220-90, ) ''Army Bands'', 14 December 2007, para 2-5f, g〕 and is typically called "The Army Song." ==The Caisson Song== The song is based on the "Caisson Song" written by field artillery First Lieutenant (later Brigadier General) Edmund L. Gruber, Lieutenant William Bryden, and Lieutenant (later Major General) Robert Danford while stationed at Fort Stotsenburg in the Philippines in March 1908,〔(''The Field Artillery Journal'' ), July–August 1926, pp. 337 and 443-444, background and original lyrics〕 using music composed by Alfred C. Montin at Fort Sheridan, Ill., shortly before his unit was transferred to Fort Sill. The tune quickly became popular in field artillery units. In 1917 the Secretary of the Navy and army Lieutenant George Friedlander of the 306th Field Artillery asked John Philip Sousa to create a march using the "Caisson Song." Sousa changed the key, harmony, and rhythm and renamed it "U.S. Field Artillery."〔(Marshall's Civic Band )〕 Sousa didn't know who had written the song and had been told that it dated back to the Civil War. Although an army magazine claims that Sousa passed on his royalties to Gruber,〔Wigginton, F. Peter, (''Soldiers'' magazine ), July 1994, p. 45〕 other sources state that Gruber became involved in a prolonged legal battle to recover the rights to music he had written and that had been lifted (unknowingly or not) by Sousa and widely sold by sheet music publishers who reaped profits while Gruber received nothing. The music became so popular that it was also used in radio ads by firms such as the Hoover Vacuum Company. Gruber lost his battle in the courts. They ruled that he had waited too long to complain and that his music was by that time in the public domain. "The Caisson Song" was never designated as the official U.S. Army song likely because the lyrics were too closely identified with the field artillery and not the entire army. The official song retains Gruber's music, but with re-written lyrics.
