This timely title was issued two days after the armistice. Its popularity over the next year is confirmed by a second printing, the release of at least four piano rolls, and several municipal band performances of an arrangement by William J. C. Lewis.
Historical Note
At least four piano rolls were released, all during 1918; there are no recordings, however, and no advertisements other than for the piano rolls.
This is the second of two printings, distinguished by different front and back covers but using the same plates for the music. Canadian copyright was registered November 12, 1918. A band arrangement by William J. C. Lewis was issued but not separately copyrighted by Jerome H. Remick & Co. sometime before March 1919.
The slogan "Food Is Ammunition—Don't Waste It" was introduced relatively early by the Food Administration, appearing in newspapers and periodicals from at least October 1917.
Musical Note
This skilled but conventional march in compound duple meter follows the usual formal and harmonic practices: two strains, a modulation to the subdominant for the trio, and an athletic and harmonically adventurous bride. It includes fanfare figures (marked “Trumpets”) in the introduction and bridge and an unusually active bass line throughout, well designed for a band arrangement.
