Can’t help noticing that the ‘British Yeomanry’ look remarkably like Canadian Mounties, but maybe the art department wasn’t so fussy in those days

Dedicated to his sister “with the composer’s kindest regards” and dated April 1915, it has a surprising rumbustious style considering the fate of the soldiers in the trenches at that time.

Part of the cover, with the composer’s dedication can be seen here:
