Details |
Fair but False -The Coldstream "Girl." A Remarkable Impersonation in a trench pantomime. Among the numerous female impersonators among soldiers providing entertainment for the troops during the First World War, the Tatler prints a photograph of perhaps the most convincing (and he certainly is), Private Splatt of the Coldstream Guards as principal girl in a pantomime at the front.
