Sussex by the sea
Sheet music for “Sussex By the Sea,” a military march originally published in 1907. The song was re-purposed to commemorate a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in November 1917, in support of Canada’s Victory Loan program. The cover includes the text, “Sung with tremendous success by Frank Oldfield at the Roosevelt Victory Loan Meeting at Toronto Armories before an enthusiastic audience of 20,000 people,” and a quote by Shakespeare, “A merry heart goes all the day Your sad tires in a mile-a.” The second page contains the full lyrics.
