Thread Name: Anti-war songs from WWI
Subject: RE: Anti-war songs frm WWI
I don't know if this would actually classify, but I always think of Ewan MacColl's song, "Browned Off", as a period anti-war song sung by the men on the front-lines. See the recent thread on MacColl to get the lyrics. The most notable refrain is "They browned me off to help to save Democracy."
