Cinema: In the War behind the Line, on at least the Western Front, Cinemas were often to be met with, being generally "run" by the Expeditionary Force Canteens by way of affording relaxation for the men from the strain of war. (The writer of this entry particularly remembers on one occasion on "coming out" of Havrincourt Wood, seeing with a sense of great relief, Charlie Chaplin featured just behind the Line). [1]
