s perspective. she seldom toured during the war, but briefly performed in northampton, watford and nottingham in 1916. by the end of that year, she had suffered a nervous breakdown which she blamed on her hectic workload and a delayed reaction to hurley's death. during the war years, lloyd's public image had deteriorated. her biographer midge gillies thought that lloyd's violent relationship with dillon and professional snubs in public had left the singer feeling like " someone's mother, rather than their sweetheart. " in july 1916, dillon was conscripted into the army, but disliked the discipline of regimental life.

known song, " my old man ( said follow the van ) ", which was written for her by fred w. leigh and charles collins. the song depicts a mother fleeing her home to avoid the rent man. the lyrics reflected the hardships of working class life in london at the beginning of the 20th century, and gave her the chance to costume the character in a worn out dress and black straw boater, while carrying a birdcage. by 1918, she had become popular with the british @ - @ based american soldiers, but had failed to capture the spirits of their english counterparts, and began feeling sidelined by her peers ;
