When This Bloody War Is Over by Max Arthur
When This Bloody War Is Over by Max Arthur
BETWEEN artillery barrages that rained horror on trenches of Western Front, skylarks would take to the air in joyful song.
And on the ground men would sing their own haunting tunes – with lyrics that carry an emotional punch to this day.
This book contains a moving collection of authentic lyrics sung on the march, in moments of rest and in the trenches.
Each song is introduced with historical background and, where possible, a tune. Tipperary, the Rose of Picardy and Keep the Home Fires Burning are just three songs that have endured.
This book is a testament to the power of music to sustain the spirit in the most awful of circumstances.
