The lads in their hundreds - Butterworth (John Brancy and Peter Dugan)

This song was written just before the Great War by George Butterworth. It tells the ironic tale of young men who lost their life too soon to the chaos and madness of the War. George Butterworth was undoubtedly one of the great composers of his time and he, along with many others, became one of the young men depicted his this song. #artnotwar
