Performance NotesHorace Hambling (Moon Trail) address:
"'Moon Trail' spoke of the deathless army; the living dead. He wanted to emphasise that they were always with us. 'We live, we live!' We are with you on this sacred night as your living guests.'"

Nora Blackwood demonstration:
"'You are the sister of Harry Randall?' 'That is right.' 'Your name is Ann?' 'Yes.' 'There is also a link with Rosetta and also Girly?' 'Yes.' 'Is it Girly or Shirley?' 'Girly!' 'I have an airman here by the name of Robinson, who wants to send his love to Girly, do you understand?' 'Yes, I understand, I will do that.' 'Girly is your niece, isn't she?' 'That is correct, she is my neice.' 'And she wasn't married to the airman but they were very close, isn't that right?' 'Yes, that is right.' Then referring back to Harry Randall, she continued, 'He was killed on or by a bridge.' 'Yes, on a bridge.' 'He was about 50 years old.' 'He was 44!' 'And he was about to be married!' Yes.' ...'You are concerned about Roy. and you think that he is in the spirit world.' 'Yes!' 'Well I am to tell you that he is very much alive.' ..."
