Prince August homecast by John Clarke

We Don't Want To Lose You & I'll Make A Man Of You - Oh! What A Lovely War - Studio Soundtrack
'We don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go' Vesta Tilley - a song mentioned in the above book as being performed at a Music Hall 1914.
Vesta Tilley - Wikipedia By the time the First World War began, Tilley's career was slowing down and the changing situation provided a chance for it to develop further. She and her husband ran military recruitment drives and she sang at charity events.[6] Tilley dressed in khaki fatigues and performed numbers written by her husband such as "Jolly Good Luck to the Girl Who Loves a Soldier", "The Army of Today's All Right", "Six Days' Leave", and "Your King and Country Want You" (also known as "We Don't Want to Lose You but We Think You Ought to Go").[7] She was nicknamed "England’s greatest recruiting sergeant" since young men were sometimes asked to join the army during her show.[17][13] Over the course of a week in Hackney, she enlisted so many people they became known as "The Vesta Tilley Platoon".[16]
