King and Country

‘For your King and your Country, both need you so’ says the lyric of the popular British First World War recruiting song.

The show dramatically portrays what it was like for the men who fought in WW1…. what was it like for those who came back blinded or shellshocked… and for the families of those who did not return. This arrangement features ‘They Fought for King & Country’ and the poignant ‘Let us Celebrate Those who Live and Die’. It is ideal as a moving commemoration of war
