Sounds of War
Despite the deluge of books on the First World War over the period of its centenary, it is gratifying to find that there are still titles being published that fill gaps in our knowledge. Such a publication is Emma Hanna’s new study of the use of music in the British armed forces. Previous works have examined aspects of this subject, for example Glenn Watkins’s Proof Through the Night (2003) on ‘classical’ music, or John Mullen’s The Show Must Go …

Eve Colpus. Female Philanthropy in the Interwar World
The literature of the history of philanthropy in Britain is significantly less copious than that of the United States. Some reasons that might be suggested for this discrepancy are that, in the UK, philanthropy is not of the same scale and has never achieved the status it has in the United States. In Britain in the twentieth century, philanthropy, with some notable exceptions, has not been accepted as a significant area of study, being entirely e…

Bombazine Dolls and Orders from the Dead
This chapter considers the artists that best fit the third category from Chapter 2 , re-shapers of myth. Empire Soldiers by Vibronics and Brain Damage, an Anglo-French multi-ethnic dub reggae collective, examines the experience of black soldiers and labourers during the War. ‘The Soldiering Life’ a homoerotic love song by the Decemberists, a rock band from Portland, Oregon, sees some positives in the war experience. English artists Billy Chyldish…
Philanthropy in Britain during the First World War
The First World War saw the greatest act of volunteering ever in Britain. Two-and-a-half million men volunteered to fight in a conflict that cost more than 700,000 of them their lives. But there was another act of volunteering between 1914 and 1918 on at least the same scale, though without the same life-and-death consequences. This was the voluntary effort at home especially to support the men at the front, in health and sickness, but also to ai…
The Show Must Go On! Popular Song in Britain during the First World War
First published as ‘The show must go on!’ La Chanson populaire en Grande-Bretagne pendant la Grande Guerre, 1914–1918, Paris: L’Harmattan, collection “L’Aire Anglophone,” 2012.Studies of the music
Philanthropy and Voluntary Action in the First World War
This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of Engla…
