"Sweet Early Violets" is a song mentioned a few times in Vera Brittain's book Testament of Youth. <br /><br />Her brother Edward heard the song while serving in the military. A gramophone in the trenches played the song, and it brought him comfort. He said as much in letters he sent home in England.<br /><br />So his sister Vera seeks out the song and gets familiar with it since her brother was fond of it.<br /><br />Some lyrics are quoted in Vera's famous book Testament of Youth.<br /><br />Hubert Eisdell, tenor<br /><br />Music by Louis F. Sherrington<br /><br />Lyrics by Clifton Bingham<br /><br />1915
