Harry Lauder His only son John, who had been educated at the City of London School followed by a degree from Jesus College, Cambridge University, became a Captain in the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was killed in action on 28 December 1916 at Pozières.[41][42] Nonetheless, with his wife's encouragement Lauder returned to the stage three days after learning of John's death.[34] He wrote the song "The End of the Road" (published as a collaboration with the American William Dillon, 1924) in the wake of John's death, and built a monument for him in the private Lauder cemetery in Glenbranter. (John Lauder was buried in the war cemetery at Ovillers, France). Winston Churchill wrote that Lauder, "... by his inspiring songs and valiant life, rendered measureless service to the Scottish race and to the British Empire."[43]
End of the Line (Traveling Wilburys song) "End of the Line" is the last track from the Traveling Wilburys' first album, Volume 1, released in 1989. Its riding-on-the-rails rhythm suggests its theme and the on-the-move nature of the group. It features all the Wilburys (excluding Bob Dylan, who was on tour at the time, though he is featured in the video) as lead singers; George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. The song then expands into a "freight train" rhythm to underscore its theme.
