“Someday I will kill the man who wrote keep the home fires burning—they play it in the hottest…”

Siegfried Sassoon in a letter to musicologist Edward Dent, 1915 

Remember when I blogged this? So I just found out who wrote “Keep the Homes Fires Burning.”

Ivor Novello.

With whom Sassoon had an affair in 1924.    (via larazontally)

I’d say Sassoon clearly can’t hold a grudge, but the first time he met Ivor Novello he DID flat-out ignore him in petty spite because he hated that song so much. Clearly he got over it though.      (via outoflullabies)
