Tribute Songs
Hi to all my loyal listeners. I have added seven new songs. They are not pretty songs for I am a realist. The seven new songs are all based on real life stories that I have heard on previous Remembrance Days. I have written them as a tribute to all those that have been affected by wars anywhere, any time. I have been especially aware that it is the centenary of the end of the first world war. My Dad fought in that war in the trenches in France. He was called up 6 days after his eighteenth birthday. He served in the Warwickshire Regiment until he was so badly gassed that he could no longer go 'over the top' when the whistle was blown. He was transferred to the Service Corps and daily was involved in taking ammunition to the front on wagons pulled by horses. I found all this out at the Warwickshire Regiment's museum. I know that my liberty, freedom to speak and write was brought about by the millions that died or were wounded in that war. Best wishes always MavisEllen
