Dance at Mankon, 1937-12

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3043BB/36

Scope and Contents

62 x 40 mm. Soon after their arrival, despite the distance many of them had come the old Fies started to dance and were followed by their drummers and gunmen. At first each orchestra kept up the good work but as the fies came in and the orchestras increased in number they broke away and joined with the dancers leaving the Chief's orchestra in command. Here are seen some of the groups of Fies dancing the queer little shuffling steps again in an anti-clockwise direction whilst the gunmen let off volleys in the midst of the party and the smoke from their guns hides the trees in the background.
