Thread Name: Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans day songs (Nov 11)
Subject: RE: Remembrance day songs
For me it will always be Reg Meuross's beautiful song about Harry Farr, a young soldier shot at dawn. It's called '...and Jesus Wept' and it touched my soul so deeply the first time I heard it, a few years back.

Mike Harding has called this song one of the best he's ever heard concerning WW1. I agree. It moved me so much I made this page:

"...and Jesus Wept' by Reg Meuross - The true story of Harry Farr

If you open that link, please scroll down to the 'friends' section, then click on the wonderful page for dear Harry Patch.. It's beautiful.
