    i Return to Contents TheThe LSRALSRA CollectionCollection A Collection of Pipe Tunes By Joe Massey and Chris Eyre dedicated to the Liverpool Scottish and their Regimental Association i ii Return to Contents The tunes in this book are drawn mainly from the Airs & Graces Books 1 and 2 that Joe and I produced around 2002- 2005 with the addition of several more tunes I have written since, plus a lot more background information and illustrations. Some of the tunes have been revised/updated, had some minor mistakes corrected, been improved slightly or had harmony added. Joe’s tunes are already in the public domain. I’m making all mine available too. All I ask is that if you use any of the tunes you acknowledge who wrote them. I’m not planning to publish this book in hardback. It is designed as an e-book which has several advantages over a conventional hard-back. In this publication you can zoom in on any of the high resolution pictures, click on any title on the Contents page to go straight to the tune, click “Return to Contents” to go back to the tune list and even listen to many of the tunes by clicking on the link below to my webpage. http://www.eyrewaves.co.uk/pipingpages/ Airs_and_Graces.asp If you prefer a hard copy you are welcome to print out any tune or the entire book.

  • 1 Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521848008 - Citizen Soldiers: The Liverpool Territorials in the First World War Helen B. McCartney Excerpt More information 1 Introduction The First World War drew ordinary British men into an army that by 1918 numbered over 5 million soldiers.1 Some had volunteered to serve; others had been less willing and were conscripted later in the war. Most had little contact with the military in pre-war days, and before 1914 few would have contemplated participating in war. These men were first and foremost civilians, and this book examines their experience from their initial decision to enlist, through trench warfare on the Western Front, to death, discharge or demobilization at the end of the war. It is concerned with the soldier’s relationship both with the army and with home, and examines the extent to which these citizen soldiers maintained their civilian values, attitudes, skills and traditions and applied them to the task of soldiering in the period of the First World War. The popular image of the British soldier in the First World War is that of a passive victim of the war in general and the military system in particular. On joining the army a soldier supposedly ceased to act as an individual and lost his ability to shape his world. It is an image that has been reinforced by two historiographical traditions and is largely derived from a narrow view of the British soldier presented by the self-selecting literary veterans who wrote the disillusionment literature of the late 1920s and 1930s.2 For some historians, the characteristics of the British ‘Tommy’ have become synonymous with the qualities of the regular pre-war private soldier.
