Description

In the ‘mess room’, which is actually a film set in Bombay, men serving in the Far East take turns to approach the camera and send personal messages back to their loved ones in and around Manchester. The film concludes with the men doing their best to sing ‘She’s a Lassie from Lancashire’ with ‘no Gracie Fields’ to help them out.
