We are interested in hearing about any stories related to the experiences of musicians/singers on both the homefront and in active service during times of war. The above list was compiled during the 1930s and we are hoping to expand this list to include all regimental marches. We are also compiling a list of bandmasters and hope to provide this resource online sometime in the future. Any information related to these is most appreciated. Regards Theresa Cronk Hi Pauline and Michael

My grandfather was in the AN&MEF to New Guinea, and then later in the 20th Bn AIF to Belgium. Some friends of mine who also had relations in the 20th Bn, found that the march for the 20th Bn, was the Lincolnshire Poacher. We have an audio track of this music.

I have a huge collection of WW1 patriotic songs, many with lyrics to stir soldiers in battle and to rally those on the home front. He received a framed certificate, which I have, from the president of the Australian Red Cross thanking him for his efforts. Music certainly played a part in the inspiration of those on the battle front and those left at home.
