Summary
Title and other information from lot catalog card.
"Sometimes the younger refugees form themselves into a troubadour band, travelling from one part of the camp to another, singing songs to the accompaniment of an accordion. Their repertoir [i.e. repertroire] ranges from Partisan marching songs to Yankee Doodle and Tipperary. All the English words are learnt phonetically, often with odd results." (Source: Caption list "Captions for OWI Pictures of El Shatt Camp" included with LOT 2183)
