The Field Theatre of the 1st Polish Riflemen Brigade, was organized and run by Tadeusz Olsza while stationed in Scotland in 1941.
The theatre's mission was to support the Polish troops by providing morale and recreation-type services to the men in uniform,
and to extend a touch of Polish entertainment to those longing to return to their homeland. |
