1. Culture
Cinema provided distraction, news and propaganda during the war years, with Charlie Chaplin’s silent movies being a particularly popular form of entertainment.
Music was provided by five bands, various choirs, an amateur dramatic society and visiting orchestras, often in association with fundraising.
Theatre was mainly by visiting troupes during the war.
