We're Going Over the Top is a World War I song written by Andrew B. Sterling, Bernie Grossman, and Arthur Lange. It was published in 1917 by Joe Morris Music Co., in New York, NY.[1][2] The sheet music cover, designed by Starmer, illustrates a battlefield scene with a tank moving over the top of a trench and soldiers inside the trench getting out of the way of the tank. Behind the tank soldiers march up the field.[3]
The sheet music can be found at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, as well as the University of Maine.[3][4]
