Garryowen

Garryowen (now a neighborhood in Limerick) was, a small “town where the 5th Royal Irish Lancers made their home. The town's name, Garryowen, means ‘Owen's Garden’; but the old tune soon came to become associated with the Lancers' drinking. The Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote the words around 1807.”

 See, also, They Died With Their Boots On.
"And so was born the immortal 7th U.S. CAVALRY which cleared the plains for a ruthlessly advancing civilization that spelled doom to the red race."
