Thanks, Megan, for the newspaper idea. Our town newspaper, "The Gananoque Reporter" dates back much farther than 1918. It was recently sold to a corporation, though, so it may be tough to get at anything through them. Maybe I'll check the library first.

I have a copy of Harry Lauder singing "Keep Right on to the End of the Road." I gave it another listen while I read about the song. Kinda teared up a bit.

From Wikipedia: Harry wrote the song "Keep Right on to the End of the Road" in the wake of John's death. He had a monument for his son built in the little Lauder cemetery in Glenbranter (John Lauder was buried in France).

That's a keeper. Thanks

Because we're in Canada, I think music hall is a good fit. We were very British at the time. I'm trying to convince Diane to try some Marie Lloyd songs. But I'm pretty new to music hall and have a bunch more searching and listening to do. I've performed "When Father Papered the Parlour" for years but that's about it.
