"[In] the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war (...) now comes a double album from Barry Coope, Jim Boyes and Lester Simpson, a trio of exhilarating a cappella singers who have done more than most to express the horrors of the conflict in their songs, and have been involved in a series of war-related projects, including concerts on former battlefields. The 50 tracks here include new and old recordings of wartime songs and their own compositions, with occasional piano work from Belinda O'Hooley and vocals from June Tabor on the atmospheric Shule Agra. But they are equally powerful on their own, with magnificent, stirring harmony work on the cheerfully bitter Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire".

"Brings together, in a compelling near-two-and-a-half-hour sequence, existing and first-time recordings of music associated with the War To End All Wars, including a handful of newly-written songs on that theme. Harrowing pieces like Hill 60, The Rhyme Of No Man's Land and Down Upon The Dugout Floor sit proudly alongside classics Standing In Line and Shuffling Jack ... The resultant consistency and unity is strong and powerful, the inevitable emotional rollercoaster providing a decidedly thrilling but ultimately disturbing ride".
