Quite so. A very young Sean Connery, even before the Bond series.
He was wailing about the piping of Bill Millin, who piped Lord Lovat's mob ashore on D-Day and hence. His famous pipes are now ensconced for all time in Edinburgh Castle, and furthermore, our own Nigel Watson was photographed with him only a couple of years ago. Somewhere in this electronic box of tricks I have that scan, and will try to find it.
The second quote... I will give you only this hint... it was an expendable American sailor repeating the poem...
