YMCA Camp Opens as Balaklava Men Seek Entertainments
The Y M C A Army Department at Balaklava Camp launched a comprehensive program after Mr H A Wheeler addressed a large institute audience on October 9. A galvanised iron shop was moved to the camp and a marquee on the town block will serve as a reading room, entertainment venue, and town rendezvous with two weekly picture shows, music, and occasional boxing. Committees were formed, a strong volunteer base enlisted, and a Sunday sing song drew a large crowd. The camp aims to provide daily amusements and support for soldiers, with costs projected around £25 weekly and district council support for lighting.
