James Edmund Henderson Neville in Rubempré - 12 January, 1917
from The War Letters of a Light Infantryman, page 7:
The gramophone is now playing Rachmaninoff’s Prelude out of tune. Nevertheless, it reminds me of the old days at Sloley … The Regimental March is now being played. It is a curious fact that, when we move and occupy a new mess, the first thing to be seen is the gramophone. It is ubiquitous and makes things very cheery.
