1. Title: "Laughing Through the Trenches: The Dingle Repertory Company's WWI Theatre Programme by Arthur Mostyn" This evocative and intriguing photograph print showcases the 2nd/3rd East Lancashire Field Ambulance's Dingle Repertory Company theatre programme, designed by Arthur Mostyn for The Somn-Ambulance Theatre in Crowborough during World War I, circa 1916. The programme's cover features an enticing description of two shows: "The Coward" and "Up for the Battle Show." The tongue-in-cheek tone of the programme is further emphasized by the humorous adverts on the back cover, which include a "Patent Medicine" for "Soldier's Sore Throat," a "War-Time Fashion Plate," and a "War-Time Recipe" for "Trench Pie." These amusing additions serve as a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the war, providing a brief moment of levity for the soldiers. The 2nd/3rd East Lancashire Field Ambulance was a medical unit that served during World War I, and the Dingle Repertory Company was a theatrical troupe formed to entertain the troops. The programme's design, with its clever use of humor, underscores the importance of maintaining morale during wartime. Arthur Mostyn's artwork on the programme is a commemorative piece of history, offering a unique glimpse into the experiences of the soldiers during the First World War. The programme's design is a testament to the resilience and creativity of those who served, and it remains an intriguing piece of historical art.
