content: The World War I section of the DeVincent Collection is large. Folders A-M are the general songs about the war; most date from the war years. Courtship is a common theme. Small editions from the war years (small for paper conservation) are interspersed in these folders. Other small editions are in folders AAA-BBB. Some of the most popular songs of the war and songs about particular topics are in folders N-OO and RR-WW. See also the files for the following composers and topical headings for World War I songs: Irving Berlin, Walter Donaldson, Charles K. Harris, ambulances (in transportation), and Indiana publishers.
