Listen to the Colonel Bogey March... macksites.com (click on the second ear on this page) Also see: total.net COLONEL BOGEY (1914) One of the most probable explanations for the creation of this march was that Alford was a keen walker and regularly took his walks on the golf course at Fort George in North-East Scotland nine miles from Inverness. During this time, Alford was serving with the 93rd Highlanders preparing for the call to arms in mainland Europe. In May of 1958, Alford's Widow wrote a note of explanation to the Publishers of the march in question: "While playing golf on the Fort George course, one of the members whistled the first two notes (B flat and G) instead of calling 'Fore !', and with impish spontaneity was answered by Alford with the next few notes. There was little sauntering - Moray Firth's stiff breezes encouraged a good crisp stride. These little scraps of whistling appeared to 'catch on' with the players, and from that beginning the Quick March was built up."
