 "Souvenir
Programme" Cover Sheet
for the first visit to Eastwood of an All-American Shoe entitled
"Paratroopers On Parade.
The show was held for the benefit of the Eastwood Miners Welfare on April
23, 1944.
Each programme was numbered and sold for two pence (tuppence).
A drawing was held later in the evening and each attendee hoped that their
programme number would be the winning number called.

Woolatin Park Orchestra
was the unfortunate misspelling heading this foldout sheet. Led
by Sgt Sal Valenti, the orchestra included Vocalist Sgt. MacCuddie, Sgt.
Sam Forcucci, Cpl. Angelo Greco, Cpl J. Winter, Pfc Jim Farney and Pfc
Frank Cox.
A wide variety of arrangements was played that evening. |
 Back Cover
advertised some other events to be held that week, including
an amateur boxing match as well as a dance contest with the unlikely title
of "Tanks To Berlin".
