	Harry Lauder, His Life & Music
		Lauder was fortunate to have developed his talents during the heyday of the English music hall mania that swept the UK from around 1900 to World War I. Although the music hall tradition continues today, during that earlier period music halls dominated the musical scene and virtually every town and village boasted music hall activities.
		Lauder had also been given permission to entertain the troops, no matter where they may be and Lauder took full advantage of the permission to go straight to the front and entertain right in the trenches much to the consternation of the War Office who assumed that he would perform at behind the lines bases.
		Lauder always was an enthusiastic supporter of the Scouting movement and his last stage appearance was for them in 1947 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rover Scout Group in the Gorbals.
