Chapter 3: Music and Guns Go Hand in Hand

Songs popular with U.S. soldiers in World War I—a.k.a. “doughboys”—included both war-related songs (“There’s a Long, Long Trail”) and popular songs of the day (“K-k-Katy”). As with other wars, soldiers generally did not sing the most militaristic songs of the home front, like “Over There,” as they already were over there.

This playlist also includes Lieut. Jim Europe’s 369th U.S. Infantry “Hell Fighters” Band: The Complete Recordings.
