Blighty One
"Blighty One! Blighty One! You're lucky Johnny... they're sending you home, son"
An injured young soldier is sent from the Front Line of World War One to Royal Victoria Military Hospital where, as an eight-year-old boy, he delivered newspapers to patients on the very same ward.
This specially commissioned puppetry performance links one of Hampshire's most recognisable landmarks- the Chapel at the centre of Royal Victoria Country Park- to the history behind this inspiring true story.
