Many [of our men] have married and are happy. Many of them will certainly settle permanently in Breda.
A civilian cinema was started in Breda in the spring. The films were supplied by England. Old Dutch films are also shown.
Two cinemas are open for the military, in one of which the E.N.S.A.¹, the military theatre company, performs almost daily.
