Comments: This unusual
souvenir features a World War One jingoistic song called "Fall
In". The words were written by "Harold Begbie" (1871-1929); a
writer for the "Daily Chronicle" in England, and the popular poem
was soon set to music in 1914.
The words of the song basically tell the young men to go to war or
they will be humiliated and shunned in the future, by their friends,
children, neighbours, and even worse the girls! "Where will you
look, when your children yet to be, clamour to learn of the part you
took, in the War that kept men free?"
The cotton cloth has a large central image of a bugler
surrounded by flags of the Commonwealth and the Allies. It is in
good condition with two tiny holes.To view other images
