I always found them interesting. But it is the political connection you made when you mentioned it was an attempt to ward off communism. I wouldn't have seen that, but it is a logical idea, even if I'm not sure it would be the most efficient... but never having known such times, one cannot understand truly the mood of the times.<br />:)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-29290888225476918242012-08-20T12:20:42.167-04:002012-08-20T12:20:42.167-04:00Very interesting and enjoyable.

Your imagined routine was very funny and of course all the interetsing details about the wandertheater and the pickelhaube.

I've been away for a few weeks, so now I'll have to go back and read your previous contributions too.<br /><br />I suspect you are wrong about the entertainment for the British forces during the Great War. Certainly, the CEF (Canadian Expeditionary Force) had a number of troupes entertaining the troops, including a cross-dressing ensemble called the Dumb Belles/Bells.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-42195743067188269322012-08-17T17:15:20.783-04:002012-08-17T17:15:20.783-04:00I admire you for your ability to tell us so many i...I admire you for your ability to tell us so many interesting things about your orchestral cards (if that is an expression).Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-90905638770340151722012-08-17T16:25:25.989-04:002012-08-17T16:25:25.989-04:00What a fun post.

In terms of humor, well how seriously can you take anyone wearing a Pickelhaube?<br /><br />I may take a look at the writing later and see what I can make of it.

But I must admit I expected the cough cure would include something about being "a little hoarse" (horse? get it?) - maybe much too obvious, eh?
