Factoid: Sung by Alexander Armstrong who is better known as comedian and TV presenter. We recorded these tracks with a variety of microphones - some from the 1930s and one which dated from 1921 - the closest we could find to the authentic horn and wax which would have been used in 1914-18. See versions to hear the difference.
