G.E. Patton, portfolio 15 x 12 in — 38.1 x 30.5 cm NOTE:

‘Concerts and entertainments were put on in the Greater Dänholm dining hall on Saturday evenings. There appear to have been a number of POWS with talents in the performing arts; whether it be singing, playing an instrument, acting or entertaining. Behind the scenes too they were lucky to have the “Indefatigable George Patton”, part of the Concert Committee. They collected whatever useful material that was available and “with wonderful ingenuity, was turned into scenery and costume which would have done credit to any first class company of professionals and variety shows were produced which would have packed any London theatre with an enthusiastic audience”. Lieut. G. E. Patton was fellow northerner, RFA and roommate of Witherington who was obviously very impressed by his friend’s creativity. There are many diary entries which mention the good shows that were put on. Wilkinson reports that on 14 September “we all went to the Concert; quite a decent show, especially the “Hole in her Stocking” song. Of course they had to have “Watchmen, What of the Night” and the “Green Eye of the Yellow God”! However the following Saturday’s concert was cancelled owing to “difficulties created by the Hun”. The next concert he remarks upon took place on 5 October “The Concert in the afternoon wasn’t as good as usual. We now had an Orchestra, but they were very poor, though they did liven things up a little”.

Witherington played the “double bass” in the orchestra, and they certainly practised frequently, but then perhaps getting an amateur orchestra to sound good takes more than a couple of months’ work. Orchestral concerts were performed in the gymnasium. $2,000 — 3,000
