Hello Central! Give Me No Man's Land

Give Me No Man's Land" is a World War I era song released in 1918.

The song was published by Waterson Berlin & Snyder, Co. of New York City.

[1] Artist Albert Wilfred Barbelle designed the sheet music cover, which features a photo of Al Jolson next to a shadow of a child on the phone.

[6] The song tells the story of a child attempting to call her father in No man's land (the phrase "Hello, central" was used when addressing the switchboard operator; in those days, callers would call a switchboard and ask to be manually connected to their party).

She is unable to reach him over the telephone because her father has been killed fighting on the Western Front.
