A COUPLE of weeks ago, we carried a piece about reader Chris Poole, and his extraordinary collection of First World War sheet music.

Chris and his wife Margaret have been collecting old sheet music for years.

They have hundreds of original songsheets, some dating back to the Boer War and beyond. But it is their First World War collection that is particularly close to Chris’s heart – he lost two uncles in that war, and his father Walter was injured at the Battle of Mons.

Here are the front covers of a few more songs of that time.
