The SALVATION ARMY sheet is very common..this is my 5th copy. "Salvation Lassie Of Mine" 1919. The Salvation Army was even in the front line with the soldiers, passing out comfort and doughnuts to the "dough"boys in fact some say that is how they got their name!!
"OVER YONDER WHERE THE LILIES GROW". 1919. Soldier in Flanders with a Little Dutch Girl. A Battle there killed hundreds of "Our Boys". (maybe thousands are buried there with Poppies On their graves at Flanders Field!.)
You need to look over carefully every inch of your sheet music, look at the art signature lower right-hand corner. yes, that is
Norman Rockwell!
This collection in memory of the collector who passed the collection to his family member who shared it with me in an auction. Thanks to both!
Don't forget to check me for more WW1 sheet music tomorrow. postcardcollector, Lois
The Rockwell picture is especially sweet, the young army-bound dad gets a flower from little daughter with pup at his heels - so much meaning in that one
I love Norman Rockwell!

Printed to conserve paper for the War Effort needs, The size is 7X 10 3/4 but depending on the publisher the size can be a bit smaller or a bit larger. This came down quite a bit from 11X14 before WW1, Sheet music was donated to be destroyed at this time as well. Bundled up and picked up a truck!! EEEK! There was so much patriotic sheet music published during 1917-1919 that a huge amount still does exists!! The two shown titles are interesting
,SALVATION LASSIE, is very common! The Norman Rockwell art,
OVER YONDER, isn't.
Lisa..Thanks!
More going on tomorrow!

AS mentioned...All the sheet music I bought in this bundle is De-Evaluated by the impression on every piece of it with a deep dent of a huge paper clip. (Thankfully before the clip started to rust and flake.) Never do this. It is worth while to get those nice poly-bags in a bundle from eBay. I don't know where else to get them, do you?
