EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates a concert performed by The Prismatics Concert Party of the 1st South Midland Field Ambulance, RAMCT, on the 10th of March, 1917. The Prismatics were a popular concert party, a form of entertainment that provided morale-boosting performances for troops during World War I. The 1st South Midland Field Ambulance was a medical unit of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) that served during the Great War. The unit was formed in September 1914 and saw action on the Western Front. The soldiers in this unit would have faced the harsh realities of war, treating the wounded and sick under challenging conditions. This concert programme, now a cherished piece of commemorative art, offers a glimpse into the lighter side of life for these soldiers. The Prismatics Concert Party would have provided a much-needed distraction from the horrors of war, offering moments of joy and laughter. The programme features an illustration of the Prismatics in performance, each member named and depicted in character. The line-up includes acts such as "The Three Bummers," "The Two Cockneys," and "The Two Old Maids." The programme also lists the various acts and performances, from music and comedy to magic and dance. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit that endured even in the most challenging of circumstances. The Prismatics Concert Party, and the 1st South Midland Field Ambulance more broadly, offer a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers who served during World War I. This historical artefact is a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history or the social history of the war.
