LEST WE FORGET ASSOCIATION
As its name suggests,
the Lest We Forget Association is a charity devoted to serving disabled
members and ex-members of the Armed Forces. It was established in
1922, and from late 1963 it had a branch covering the Moleseys & Hampton
Court area; I would guess that it was that branch which was responsible for the
issue of an EP of Christmas carols from the local church of St.
Mary's, Hampton, in 1972. The EP had a catalogue number of LWF-1-DW, and
it seems to have been the Association's only venture into record
production. Presumably it was intended to be sold to raise funds for the
charity. In addition to the tracks shown it offered 'Ding! A-Dong
Ding!', 'The Angel Gabriel' and 'O Come, All Ye Faithful'. The labels are
somewhat bubbled, suggesting that they may have been stuck over white
ones. There don't seem to be many copies of the record around,
nowadays.
