Read Narrative
The Westminster Gazette. The Palladium Tuesday 18 August 1914 'Of course there are patriotic episodes on the Palladium bill this week. That should go without saying. 'Gentlemen, the King!' is a very dramatic little sketch, based on the desire of the old veteran who takes "French leave" from the workhouse to see the colours of his old regiment once more.'
