The Military Wives Choirs – Armistice Day 2018
On this Armistice Day, Military Wives Choirs across the UK and overseas are performing at services in their local communities, acknowledging this poignant occasion.
Music played an important role during World War 1, both in the trenches and back at home. It was extremely important for the troops, who would sing for solidarity and to boost morale.
Our choirs continue that theme, bringing women in the military community closer together through singing to support Forces families. Therefore, today, we recognise this.
