Damn, yours was a great rebus. My rebus is also from history but considerably more recent, in fact from within the last week.
Thanks Jack
Your rebus has me well and truly baffled for the moment so I'm going to set about mine and go back to it in a while.
It's a song from about the time of my previous rebus.

Gladys was the wife of the Vicar of St Mary's Church. She accompanied her husband to the service every Sunday. One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation nodded off. After the service, to be sociable, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman. In an attempt to perk him up, she extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn." To which the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one!"
Leave you with a silly joke
