1942 Bob Chester - Keep The Home-Fires Burning (Rhythm Airies, vocal)

[@mcareyop]

My mother had this record, and I've played it many, many times.

[@2Gallois]

Recorded the year i was born

[@georgecripe4898]

Thanks for posting one of my favorite WW2 songs. I have this record, but yours sounds so much better. Another Chester tune "Strictly Instrumental " is a killer arrangement.

[@the78prof72]

You're most welcome! I remember as a kid that my dad's 78 collection included that great Chester recording of "Strictly Instrumental" rather than the more popular Harry James version.

Isn’t this a ww1 song? Well it applies to any conflict that has drafting i guess

[@aarongoodall5870]

@@supakritpulmanausahakul1650 This is a WW2 cover... remix(?) of the original WW1song. You can hear them reference the first war at 1:57 when they sing: "just like we did once before".

Surprised this song never made it to Fallout

[@tardarsauce1842]

This song is a *British patriotic WW1 song* , so I think it would be unusual to hear a WW1 song in radio set in post-apocalyptic America devastated by nuclear fallout

[@augustuswaddle469]

@@tardarsauce1842 well this version is from 1942 and most of the music in the games is from 1930s and 40s so it's not unreasonable

This is an awful version of a song that is full of pathos, honour and a sense of duty. Like putting a clown's nose on a bust of Washington.
