Download the full-sized image of Amateur actors performing "Carry On". Photographic postcard, 191-.

Three actors (one in drag, another playing a clown) known as "The Buskers" perform 'Carry On'. 'The Buskers' may be the name of a military concert party in World War I, but not a professional troupe, as indicated by amateurish, apparently hastily improvised costumes compared with some other military concert parties of the time

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