Comparatively little is known about the musical cultures of the
British armed forces during the Great War. This groundbreaking
study is the first to examine music's vital presence in a range of
military contexts including military camps, ships, aerodromes and
battlefields, canteen huts, hospitals and PoW camps. Emma Hanna
argues that music was omnipresent in servicemen's wartime existence
and was a vital element for the maintenance of morale. She shows
how music was utilised to stimulate recruitment and fundraising,
for diplomatic and propaganda purposes, and for religious,
educational and therapeutic reasons. Music was not in any way
ephemeral, it was unmatched in its power to cajole, console, cheer
and inspire during the conflict and its aftermath. This study is a
major contribution to our understanding of the wartime realities of
the British armed forces during the Great War.
