I meant great singers!:)


By the way , I wrote a song based around a verse from the poem by John Lepper, Battle of Jarama 1937.

The second verse:

Death stalked the olive trees
Picking his men
His leaden finger beckoned
Again and again


it always gripped me from being a kid.


All I know is that he was a journalist who was already in Spain, then joined up and was sent to the front, was 'traumatised' and went AWOL and was then imprisoned and later repatriated in September 1937. He returned to Britain but there seem to be no record of his later life. Has anyone any details or contacts etc?
