Thread Name: Songs about the Great War (WWI)
Subject: RE: Songs about the Great War
Ted Egan also had a recording and accompanying book, c. 1986, about The Anzacs, which included Nerys Evans (Ted's wife) singing his song "A Song for Grace" - guaranteed to bring the tears ...

I used also to be moved in the 60s by Lionel Long - yes! :~)) - singing a setting of Leon Gellert's poem "Anzac Cove" ...

And there's Judy Small's "Mothers, Daughters, Wives"

Maybe Stewie can recall that good Paul Metsers song - I'm not having much luck googling at present ...

Cheers! R-J
