21796London: W.C. Such Printer and Publisher. Very good. Broadside. Undated ca. 1922. 25 x 19 cm ca. 9.75" x 7.5" on newsprint or similar stock. Old folding creased closed tear with archival repair on verso; very good. Although this song--a lament for England's poor and unemployed--may have been written as early as the 1890s this edition with its plea to "Please buy a copy from an unemployed ex-service man" was printed in the aftermath of World War I. Unemployment in England became a significant problem around 1920 as the country's economy slowed trade decreased and debts incurred by the war loomed large. Reincorporating the demobilized troops into the civilian workforce and providing sufficient resources for those disabled during the war proved particularly challenging. We locate copies of this song sheet at the British Library Bodleian Ballad-Roud # V20673 and the University of Warwick. W.C. Such, Printer and Publisher unknown

Nu willen wij er alleen van zeggen dat het noch de kosten van het drukken noch de moeite van het lezen waard is. Het is samengeflanst uit de geschriften van twee Belgische militairen den Kolonel Van de Welde en den Kolonel Lecomte met aanhechting van een rapport van Maarschalk Bazaine. Wij kunnen er uit leeren zoo wij het nog niet wisten dat Frankrijk niet klaar was toen het den oorlog begon. - Alleen de schetskaartjes kunnen van eenigen dienst zijn voor hen die zich nog eens de veldslagen bij Wörth bij Gravelotte en bij Sédan voor oogen willen brengen."
