“I have forgotten one thing — the singing. There was such a lot of singing in the villages then, and this was my pleasure. Boys sang in the fields, and at night we all met at the Forge and sang. The chapels were full of singing. When the first war came, it was singing, singing all the time. So I lie; I have had pleasure. I have had singing.” Fred Mitchell, as recounted to Ronald Blythe, in Akenfield, An English Village, 1969
