Image title
In an officer's khaki ', instead of the familiar Tommy's scarlet: Miss Vesta Tilley as she appears when singing her recruiting song, "in dear old England's name." Vesta Tilley (Matilda Alice Victoria Powers), (1864-1952), became Britain's most popular male impersonator and one of the country's most successful music hall performers. During the First World War, she and her husband won even greater popularity with their military recruitment drive. Lady Matilda Alice de Freece died in London on September 16, 1952.
