WW1 concert party research

[Kate W]

Hello everyone. My name is Kate Wills, and although I dabble in family history, I spend most of my time researching military concert parties during the Great War 1914-1919.

The index to my research is on two databases, one noting army concert parties (933 so far), and the other registering names of their members and individual entertainers / performers (3007 so far).

I am always scouting to expand my research, so if you have any information relating to concert parties and entertainment in WW1, or think I may be able to help you, please drop a line.

Regards

Kate

Hello Kate and welcome to the forum

I see you have been active already and I hope your knowledge will be invaluable to the members

Also, you could dabble a bit more into your own family

Good luck

As this forum is only for introducing yourself to our members I have copied it to the actors and artistes forum where further discussion is active.
