Nice group photo, all spiffed up

Very nice of the soldier on the left to stand in the culvert so the Corporal could look taller for his sweetheart.

 

Look in the background, may be a searchlight platform.

When sailor's can't get liberty, they have steel beach.

 

I didn't realize that soldiers have a rooftop beach.....

Play at the camp theater - British Great War theme

 

 

 

I wonder if they had any idea that there was an even greater war about to decend upon Schofield Barracks

 

 

 

Forget the British military costumes, check out the pin up on the dugout wall!

 

 

 

Are these actors using US webgear in the play?
