Description

This series contains material related to concerts and other performances given by military units from both Allied and Axis countries during the First World War. These programs range enormously in their style, production methods, paper type and content. Most list the names of cast members or performers. Many have been hand coloured and some are original works. Some feature illustrations, cartoons, jokes and advertisements whilst others are simply typed sheets. Some include a menu as well as a program of events.
