The war at sea is the subject of this programme, and amongst the songs featured is 'Song of the Navy' by Murdo Macleod, which touches on the difficult conditions encountered by sailors at sea.

It was a life of constant danger and in 'O How Melancholy I Am', he addresses this as well as expressing his longing for his native North Uist.
