Thread Name: Songs about the Great War (WWI)
Subject: Songs about the Great War
The term Great War is a bit of a contradiction in terms, but I have a huge interest in it as I was 'brought up' [some would say dragged up] by a veteran of the Gallipoli expedition.

My twin sister teaches History in a Chichester and each year takes a group of students to the Flanders trenches and is keen to use folk song and other music as part of the educational experience.

I know the obvious ones such as Green fields of France [No Man's Land] and Tipperary {It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary} and The Rose of York. Can members help to provide other songs please.
