| Description : | Two pages of a piece of war music for piano and voice. It was probably 6 pages long but pages 5 & 6 are missing. Page 5 probably had the rest of the chorus which started on the bottom of page 4. As was the custom, page 2 (back of the cover) contains brief bits of other songs: 'For King and Country', 'Where is My Boy Tonight', 'When Jack Comes Back', 'Days of Peace'. The front page has a picture of a girl saying good-bye to a soldier going off to war. The name of the piece 'When Your Boy Comes Back to You' is printed across the top. The bottom right corner has an oval picture of H. Ruthven MacDonald. The music and words were written by Gordon V. Thompson. There is a small picture of Thompson on the left hand bottom. Also, on the bottom left is text explaining that the piece was published for vocal solo, orchestra & band, mixed or male quartet or chorus. The cover has a large sketch in brown and black. The name _Mrs. Edw. Carson_ is handwritten in ink on the front. The song is a sentimental song about a soldier saying good-bye to his sweetheart and going off to war. It cost $.15 per copy and has a copyright for both Canada and the U.S.A. |
| Fonctions : | Music booklet donated by former Museum employee Jenny Dunlop. Jenny inherited the music from her grandparents along with their piano which they have had since they got married in 1913. Edward and Violet Carroll lived in the Lambton County in south western Ontario. |
