Student, Artist, and Photographer in Albury, Australia
I'm currently enrolled in a PhD at Deakin University. Over 900 performers enlisted in the AIF during the First World War and they included vaudeville artists, circus performers, actors, actors, showmen, musicians, magicians & ventriloquists. I am looking at their journey pre & post war and their experiences during the conflict. In particular I will be focusing on the Concert Parties that were organised during 1916-1918, many of which featured female impersonators.
