A historical treaty in effect from May 20th, 1882

From Wiki :
The Triple Alliance was the military alliance among Germany, Austria–Hungary, and Italy.

Each member promised mutual support in the event of an attack by any other great power, or for Germany and Italy, an attack by France alone.

In a supplementary declaration, Italy specified that its undertakings could not be regarded as being directed against Great Britain.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
