Speaker: Andrew Smith.
Dr Andrew Smith will look at the background and creation of some of the popular songs from the trenches written to boost morale, encourage enlistment and take the public’s mind off the war. In particular he will look at those sung by the soldiers as their way of making their feelings known to the officers!
