Thanks for showing those sheet music covers. They are only seen very rarely now. Some years ago, here in OZ was published a CD; featuring renditions of songs popular during the ABW. Indeed, some of the songs were "borrowed" from the Spanish-American war of 1898. Nevertheless, I can imaging some of the more rousing songs ("Soldiers of the Queen") being given a good airing at many and many a smoking concert!
