Gordon Lightfoot has a song from his early years called “Echoes of Heroes”. Don’t believe it was ever released but there is (when last checked) a youtube audio/video posted. It apoears to be a nightclub or bar type of venue. Very sparse...but lyrics are poignant/thought provoking. Mentions Somme, Verdun, Ypres.
Someone should make a decent video of the song with pics of the soldiers, etc. Post it on rumbler.. Words might be too painful to be sung at veterans gatherings, but it is, IMHO, worth a try for some talented singer or group.
