Very evocative, of the events at Southwick and Shoreham during the Great War, I wonder how many of the men, who were mainly raw recruits, returned to England, after all the fighting and slaughter on the Western Front was over….The scenes show the British Spirit, which prevailed
and eventually brought Victory…..to the Allies….The Influence of men who returned from India

It no doubt referred to a Punkawallah, an Individual in India, whose job it was to fan, the British
