CBS produced a lot of work centred around the Great War, in particular concerning the battles of Passchendaele in Flanders. They took part in the Peace Concerts Passchendaele, and their album ‘The Passchendaele Suite’ featured music from the concerts. Lester Simpson is an old ship-mate from my tall-ship sailing years, and we had numerous conversations about, inter alia, the peace concerts and those who performed in them, the performances in Tyne Cot Cemetery near Ieper and, of course, the songs.
