I am looking for an old piece of sheet music called "Your King & Country Need You More Than I do" by Stanley V. Murrill. This would have been published between 1913 and 1916. The composer was my maternal grandfather who was killed in France November 1917.
I would pay any reasonable price for this. I would not consider £50 too much to pay.
I have a poor photocopy from the British Library.

14 years and still no luck.

A slight bit of inflation.
Hope you find a copy soon.

That is a great find...it would be a good to find a version on YouTube...when you google the title it brings up the cover of the sheet music by Alamo images with a photo of the singer Daphne De Marie ;D

Thank you all but I have long had that other information. Daphne de Marie was my grandmother or rather her stage name.
I have the entire doctoral thesis.
I just seek the original sheet music.

Sheet music sometimes turns up in charity shops we can all keep our eyes open .

It might be a good idea to change the subject title to include the song title, that way if anyone googles it, it will bring them here.

I suggest that you contact them for further information.

Thanks but as I said I have photocopies from the British Library of this an 3 others by my grandfather. It is the original sheet music that I am wanting.

Very nice looking and I may just do that with the photocopies that I have. "Daphne de Marie" is my grandmother whose maiden name was Damary.

Have you considered re-contacting the BL and asking if, rather than photocopying the item, they would scan it at a fairly high resolution? That may produce a more acceptable image?
