I gcás an Chiarraígh dhallaithe sheol sé leis: “And in Balaclava we landed quite sound/ cold wet and hungry we lay on the ground/ next morning for action the bugles did call/ and we had a hot breakfast of powder and ball.” Ní raibh Waltzing Matilda Suvla Bay cumtha faoin am, dá bhrí sin, mhaithfí dó é a bheith gan eolas ar a raibh le tarlú: “We fought at the Alma, likewise Inkerman/But the Russians they whipped us at the Redan/ When scaling the walls, meself lost an eye/And a big Russian bullet ran away with me thigh.” Is de shuimiúlacht nach bhfaighimid aon mholadh sna bailéid seo ar na cogaí a raibh siad páirteach iontu, ná maíomh ar na ciníocha lasmuigh den dlí ar ar déanadh smísteadh agus slad.
