This double CD is a unique collection of original historic recordings of songs and music from the First World War, together with poignant recollections from veterans as well as famous poems read by some of Britain's leading actors. Experience, through words and music, what it was like to be a soldier in Tommy's War 100 years ago.
The songs on these CDs are from original cylinder and 78rpm recordings made 100 years ago and some hissing and crackling remains. The veterans recollections are taken from the sound archive of Imperial War Museums, with many recorded in the decades after the First World War.
