Favorite anti-war songs

 

If you can cope with some folk, John Tams sings two very beautiful songs about the First World War, "Devonshire Carol" (from Warhouse)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE9r6VA-Qmo and "Will I See Thee More" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKSkhH_afm8.  Both are incredibly moving and well worth a listen.

 

On the subject of "Yours is no disgrace," which a previous poster spoke about, I do want to register a caveat about the line, "crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear." As a scholar of the First World War, I have spent many hours reading the letters and diaries of the soldiers who fought on the Western Front.  Very few of them were callous about the results of their actions, and certainly most saw their service in the war as a moral action, in that they were defending their countries. I think those lyrics are an insult to the men who fought in that war.
