Note The songs of optimism, sorrow, consolation and humour collected here were the people's songs, most of them contemporary with the First World War, a few predating it and a few were written afterwards, and offer reflections on the human costs of the conflict that was supposed to end all wars. In the main, they are down to earth, sometimes satirical and always entertaining. Many played an important role in brightening, however fleeting, the darkest hours of this extraordinary conflict.
