Ernest Gray recorded 'Stand To Your Post' on the Winner Label in remembrance of the Titanic.  It was both a commemoration and an exhortation for contributions to the relief fund for the widows and orphans of Titanic's crew.  Listening to Ernest Gray's voice crackling over the years from 1912, the sentimental lyrics are transcended by an authentic and poignant engagement with history.
