Cheer, Boys! Cheer by Sir Augustus Harris (18 March 1852 ? 22 June 1896), Cecil Raleigh (27 January 1856 ? 10 November 1914) and Henry Hamilton (c. 1853 ? 4 September 1918). First produced at the Drury Lane Theatre in London on 19th September 1895. The outbreak of war prompted the revival of this old melodrama at the Prince?s Theatre on 17th October 1914, as it dealt with military exploits in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, but it ran for only 33 performances. Reverse bears a stirring verse by Henry Russell? The artists' signature looks like S. Brimult?
