There appears to be some confusion here. Appears that they both wrote a song
with the same title.
The gaia project claims all the songs are by Alan Simon including No Mans
land but Eric is well known for his version.
Eric Bogle can be looked up on http://www.windbourne.com/ebogle/eric.html

Anna,
Could you please clear up my confusion. I was unable to follow the links
below. I thought that "No Man's Land" was written by Alan Simon?
Cheers,
Richard
