Edgar L Bainton (1880-1956) was arrested while en route to the Bayreuth Festival and transferred to Ruhleben. He became the vicechairman of the Ruhleben Musical Society and was an active member; composing for, and performing in, the weekly concerts given at the camp. All night under the moon was written in 1917 while Bainton was interned. After his release he returned to his post as Principal of the Newcastle Conservatory.
Wilfred Wilson Gibson (1878-1962) was a friend of Edgar Bainton. They often took country walks together. Gibson joined the British Army in 1914, and served briefly on the Western Front as a Private in the Infantry.
