Original WWI-era theatre ticket for a vaudeville and concert performance held at the Municipal Theatre in Nevers, France, under the auspices of the YMCA. The event featured the 4th Regiment Mechanics’ Band and took place on Monday evening, March 17, likely 1919 during the American Expeditionary Forces post-Armistice occupation period.
Nevers served as a rear-area location for U.S. engineering and logistics units awaiting transport home, and YMCA-sponsored entertainment was a regular morale activity for American troops. Surviving printed tickets from these one-evening productions are not frequently encountered.
