Among Vashti Bartlett's papers is a 90-page songbook issued by U.S.War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, 1918.


Song entries include national anthems of the United States, and our allies -- "God Save the King" (Great Britain), "La Marseillaise" (France), "The Garibaldi Hymn" (Italy), and "La Brabanconne" (Belgium). In addition to popular songs from home, are songs that became standards associated with the war, such as "Over There", "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp", and "Auld Lang Syne".
