Composer of the music?

[edit]

At one point it says that the music was by Hubert W. David, and at another that that the "song" (I presume is meant only the music) is by Worton David, his dad I think. It's pointed out that Hubert was only 17, but that's plenty old enough to write a tune, especially if one's dad is a composer, so that's not ''proof'' that Hubert didn't write it. Did Worton write it and give credit to his son? Absent a good indication of that, we generally go with what's written on the document, although if there's reasonable doubt we should mention that.


Anyway, can we get this straightened out and not contradict ourselves? The refs are in books that I don't have. Herostratus (talk) 06:10, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
