• The ‘Colonel Bogey March’ is a British march that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881–1945) (pen name Kenneth J. Alford), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth. The march is often whistled. Featuring in films since it first appeared in The Bridge on the River Kwai in 1957, Empire magazine included it in their list of 25 Of Cinema’s Catchiest Earworms
