I first heard this song on an Episode of "Are you being served?"... and of course, at end of ONE. I actually like Mr. Rumbalds (nicolas smith) deep voice over all the versions I've heard so far.9 years ago

It was very popular 100 years ago - I think it would have been of special significance to most of the British public - certainly those with relatives in France & Belgium. You might imagine the emotional impact this piece would have on a soldier in the trenches or his mother at home .Novello's greatest hit? Possibly - and it's endured along with his name.10 years ago

An evocative chorus that respects those who suffered in that war. All it needs is some new verses to replace the cheap and nasty ones that demean the singer and audience. This song isn't heard much apart from the many recordings from 1914-18, very few modern singers would feel comfortable with it. The Incredible String Band used the chorus very sensitively in their 1971 recording of "Darling Belle" but of course they would have no truck with the verses.11 years ago

A truly terrible song which almost achieves greatness. Like the rest of Novello's music, it is best performed by the late lamented Dr Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Bracket of Stackton Tressel.11 years ago

It was a great idea to include Novello's fine songs in a promenade concert. Toby Spence sounds more vocally at ease here than in the Gather Lilacs duet. He is a really fine artist, but not usually associated with this style . Perhaps that explains the slightly stiff posture and discomfort you mention JohnOX4? None the less a lovely concert.11 years ago

A great piece of music. The singer looks a bit stiff and ill at ease.Related Videos
