Popular and Patriotic Music from "The Great War" or "The War to End All Wars"

This site showcases World War I sheet music. Scans are from my personal collection of military sheet music. I've included covers, lyrics, period advertisements, and any background information I have about these WWI songs. Though I offer some of my duplicates for sale, commerce is not the main purpose of the site. This site is primarily for preservation and to share information about this wonderful music of the last century among researchers, fellow collectors, and students. I am always looking for further data about WWI and all military sheet music, so please email me with any interesting finds.

Regarding Copyrights of WWI Songs

To the best of my knowledge, these World War One American songs are now in the public domain. The more contemporary songs from my collection will not be placed on this site so as not to violate existing copyrights.
