Private Yates is ordered to India with his Battalion, and we shall follow him through his experiences:
Leaving Southampton. In the Bay. Calling at Port Said. In the Indian Ocean.
Arriving in Cantonments at Masirabad. Marching to Barracks and the First Night There. At the Battalion Fancy Dress Ball - Christmas Eve.

Orchestral and Vocal Items, and Readings and Recitations will convey the atmosphere of Private Yates' surroundings and the thoughts passing through his mind. These will include popular military Marches and a number of Songs reminiscent of the years of the Great War.
