A lady does her acrobatic routine, entertaining the troops in one of the many organised
A lady does her acrobatic routine, entertaining the troops in one of the many organised events throughout World War Two to lift the spirits of the armed forces, and the nation.
Caption hard to read, but suggests the name of the dancer is Muriel Gaunt. Indeed, an acrobatic dander called Muriel Gaunt did live and performed in the 1940s. So it is possible that this is correct.
