“This meticulously researched and well-written book offers a glimpse into the problems faced by our ancestors as they returned home from war.” - Mark Simner, @wdytyamagazine on Adam Powell's 'Soldiering On': bit.ly/3h5JAD0 #WW1 #POW #Veterans #mentalhealth
#OTD1916 Pell-Mell, the new Charles B Cochran revue, opens a week late at the Ambassadors theatre as scenery and costume deliveries were delayed due to so many employees joining the Army. Coincidentally, in one sketch star-turn Alice Delysia donned khaki too.
#OTD1915 1,200 die when RMS Lusitania is sunk by a German torpedo off the Irish coast, among them American theatre impresario Charles Frohman who brought Broadway shows to London’s West End and premiered JM Barrie’s Peter Pan at the Duke of York’s. @TheHistoryPress @LivesOfWW1
April 1916: Shakespeare Centenary year productions enlist Shakespeare for the war effort, but his words were khaki-clad almost from day one of war, especially for recruiting campaigns. @TheHistoryPress @jykp @FWWLives
The siege of Kut-al-Amara ended in surrender #OTD in 1916: bit.ly/2I1GwXk #WW1
Books of My Childhood: Graham Maddocks was a teacher at my school. Though he didn’t teach me, he led my class trip to the Western Front, the first of many. His interests influenced us all (a thread) @TheHistoryPress
In 2020 a virus shuts UK theatres. In 1918 the Spanish flu returns. Deaths average 2,000 a week. Few theatres close - people are collapsing on stage and off. But after 4 years of mass slaughter on the Western Front, for theatre professionals mortality has become part of life.

early 1917: Harry Lauder says he wants to "sing for the boys on the frontlines who are in the thick of the struggle with the Hun.” So with War Office support he tours the war-ravaged countryside, often performing accompanied by live shell-fire. @TheHistoryPress @jykp @RealFWW
Christmas 1914 was by far the strangest #Christmas everyone who lived through it had ever known... bit.ly/2QoewEZ #WW1 #RealFWW

Dec 1918: Spanish flu is still sweeping Britain, but business is brisk at Manchester Theatre Royal's first peacetime panto Cinderella, with Cecily Courtneidge making her panto debut in the title role and Little Tich's Buttons getting big laughs. @TheHistoryPress @RealFWW
