Subject: RE: Help - music/dance hall music (World War I)
Whilst the song about the trouce in the 1st WW is a good song don't you think its rather recent. I thought that Grace was asking for songs contemporary to the period that the soldiers would have known. Its no good giving her stuff written at the back end of the 20th Cent.... Songs like "Goodbye, Dolly Gray are more appropriate even though that was an old song at the time is was very popular during that war.
