EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a moment in history during World War II, with the illustrated music sheet cover for Sons Of The Old Contemptibles. Written and composed by Muriel Watson, Jack Denby, and Everett Lynton, this patriotic song was recorded and broadcast by Billy Cotton and his band. In the portrait photograph featured on the cover, we see the band members proudly posing alongside a saluting soldier.
The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and unity during wartime, as these musicians come together to honor the brave soldiers who fought for their country. The artwork is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in WWII, paying tribute to the "Old Contemptibles" who stood strong in the face of adversity.
As we reflect on this piece of history from 1940, we are reminded of the resilience and courage displayed by individuals during one of the most challenging times in modern history. The Sons Of The Old Contemptibles music sheet cover serves as a poignant symbol of remembrance for all those who bravely served their country during WWII.
