Appendix: songs of the war days

Edited by jeanne Robert foster

‘When Johnny comes marching home’ The most popular war-time song of the mustered-out men—thus they looked as they marched home from trenches and forts, from bloody battlefields, from hospital and prison—back to city, town, and countryside

If a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.
Andrew Fletcher
