Oh, Jamie, how your photos take me back to my hey-days on the dance floor! In the 1960s/70s our group would attend such Balls maybe two or three times every year in London and other parts of south-east England.
When I danced with the RSCDS London Branch Demonstration Team, we would often provide the 'Cabaret' at similar events and, many a time we presented an all-male "Reel of the 51st Division" - sometimes in unkilted uniforms from all three services. As you know, the dance was originally devised in a German prisioner-of-war camp by a Scots Officer!
Great photos - many thanks Jamie.
Take care,
Ham.
