Fields and Battlefields

Excerpt from Fields and BattlefieldsThere was a time when Steenwerk set herself to rival in gaiety her sister on the hill. It was during the tenancy of the market place by some Motor Trans port men of great originality and enterprise. There was no regular brigade band on Sundays, but these talented ones could render the opening bars of The' Rosary on the horns of their motor-lorries. They set up a cinema of their own and worked it themselves, they assembled an orchestra of one man and two or three instruments, but the instruments did not long survive. Concerts were given at which men sang, and if marriages were not made in Steenwerk that was nobody's fault.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
