Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.

The men in drag perform in front of a painted backdrop, one is facing the audience, the other in profile. Two performers on a badly painted set, with well improvised footlights; one is costumed as a priest, the other is wearing a typical 1900s showgirl's outfit with piled up hair and ruffled skirts
