THE MARCH TO THE TRENCHES

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

The hall is dimmed, and from the distance sounds are heard of a band approaching and of troops singing on the march. Battalions march up through the hall as to the front line. Accompanied by the bands, the audience will sing the following war songs :—
Are We Downhearted?
Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty
Pack Up Your Troubles
Keep the Home Fires Burning
The Long, Long Trail Tipperary.
In an interval in the singing of the war songs a company of the London Scottish with their pipers march through the hall. On the last notes of ' Tipperary ' and as the end of the column disappears, the Massed Bands of the Brigade of Guards play ' Land of Hope and Glory,' and all join in the song.
