Jutland, The Menin Gate – and other First World War songs

In honour of Remembrance, Armistice Day, and our great-uncle killed at Ypres 1917, I recorded Les Sullivan’s The Menin Gate – see Other videos https://linnphippsfolk.co.uk/other-videos/, with Les’s kind permission.

As the Sillertides with Doug Huggins, I recorded Les’s song Jutland, with his kind permission, which commemorates the WW1 naval battle 31 May- 1 June 1916 and is on Youtube here https://youtu.be/6u6Ct3gusLM
