Who create the song Blood in the Risers?

Asked by yaujj48 (1176points) April 18th, 2021

Blood in the Risers is a paratrooper song made in WW2 and his technically a cover of Battle Hymn of the Republic since the song rhythm is based on Battle Hymn of the Republic. Despite the song popularity, no one knows who created this song. No Internet is going to help me (well except this website).

On a side question, Is Blood in the Risers is a cover for Battle Hymn of the Republic?

According to Military Wikia the lyrics were copyrighted by J.H. Knight in 1943.

I am not sure to trust, I mean there is no source in the wiki, but I guess I let it slide.
