World War One / Re: concert parties
« on: Monday 13 December 10 22:16 GMT (UK) »
My step-father Albert Edward Pearce b.1889 was a member of a concert party for Troops in the WW1. He took the part of girls as he sang and danced well, wearing the wigs and flowing gowns to complete the effect.
I have been unable to find any mention of him in any records, he worked in the pay office dealing with the army pay. He told me he was commissioned. (His left arm was deformed how did he enter the army with this problem? He said it didn't matter they needed men to do a job. )
There seems very little anywhere about the troop entertainment, apart from Talbot House Popperinge Belgium, which I visited a few months ago. Any Suggestions Rosie6
