Keep the home fires burning - Renee Meyer

[songsmith31a]

My late father survived the Western Front, the Italian Front and the Anglo-Irish War and died

of TB aged 50. How can anyone not "like" this heartrending evocation of a distant age of courage and unfathomable sacrifice? The first big "hit" for very young Ivor Novello whose

later songs would find so much popularity.

Thank you for doing this. My Grandad, Horace Watson, was in the First World War, and the Second too. I grew up singing this song, and new my Grandad. Without saying anything. I new that he had been through so much that I could never fully understand. We buried him in 1974 and I adored him.
