Keep The Home Fires Burning (Veterans Day)

Music by Ivor Novello, lyrics by American Lena Guilbert Ford, 1914. The British counterpart to America's WWI rallying cry, "Over There." This song's success brought money & fame to the 21 year old Welsh-born Novello(1893-1951), paving the way for major stardom on the British operetta stage, silent films (including a few early Hitchcock thrillers) and sound pictures.
