My Grandfather: William Ezel Bledsoe, served in France in World War One. When he first arrived in France, he was assigned to: graves registration. Identifying and marking the corpses of the American men who were killed serving. He was a casualty of mustard gas from German shelling. He suffered lung problems as a result of this all of his life. He was marching to the front under German shellfire to take his place in the trenches when World War One ended. I love you, GrandDaddy!!!!

One of the most underapreciated composers there is. Perhaps one of the very best as well. Amazing music that all Britons should be proud of! Bravo and cheers from Canada :)

It's from Vaughan Williams' Pastoral Symphony (might also be listed as Symphony no. 3). You can find out more on the Philharmonia Orchestra website (go to /vaughanwilliams)
