Keep the home fires burning

[Johan de Greyze]

106 years ago, the First World War was just a few months old. In the snowy winter fields of Belgium, thousands of British and German soldiers sat in their trenches thinking of their families back home.
What then took place was a remarkable event, soldiers from both sides walked into 'no mans land' and socialised as well as having a game of football. This hand of friendship was named 'The Christmas Truce'. Back home, Ivor Norvello was writing a song for the families titled 'Keep The Home Fires Burning' A song of hope, that one day soon, loved ones would again reunite. Today, I have a new recording; a more modern version of the original Novello song 'Keep The Home Fires Burning'.
Hope you my version (Thanks Tony for this text).

Nice to see you still in business Jan. That was a very unusual choice of song, played with your usual style to a great BT. I loved the video too.

A happy and peaceful Christmas to you and yours, and a better 2021,

Hi Len,

Thank you, yes still in business but mostly on Facebook and Christian's forum. Now and then I check the HMS&T forum.
I also wish you and yours a nice Christmas and a happy New Year.

Hi Johan. Your rendition of this number along with the photos was very moving. It reminded me that despite 2020 being such a problematic year we really do have a lot to be grateful for.
Many thanks. I trust 2021 will be better for all of us.
