The Military subseries comprises sheet music published in the United States between 1900 and 1945. The scores shed light on aspects of World War I and World War II. Also included are scores dedicated to the American Civil War, foreign military campaigns, and other aspects of military life. A portion of scores, though military-related, are also patriotic in nature. Scores about World War I (WWI) touch upon bravery; enlistments, deployments, and homecomings; the French people, liberty; nostalgia; romance; branches of the United States military; patriotism; and the Red Cross.
