BiographyHistory

Composer, singer, music arranger, actor.

Arguably Australia's leading patriotic songwriter of the World War I era, Marsh Little was also a popular baritone who specialised in gospel. Many of his biggest hits were his original compositions and included 'Boys of the Dardenelles,' 'His Photo,' and 'Women! You Have Nobly Done Your Share.' One of the major songwriters for the Fullers' 1916 Bunyip pantomime, his songs were also incoprorated into several other pantomimes, notably George Marlow's Dick Whittington and His Cat (1915) and the Fullers' Robinson Crusoe (1917).
