    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks. It looks slightly earlier than the 1960s.

    You could not make this up. Lord Aberdeen wrote a book of jokes in 1929. Described as "bafflingly unfunny", it has achieved cult status and was recently (2013) republished. A sample - He couldn't say! A lady remarked to a former bishop of London on one occasion "Oh! Bishop, I want to tell you something very remarkable. An aunt of mine had arranged to make a voyage in a certain steamer, but at the last moment she had to give up the trip; and that steamer was wrecked; wasn't it a mercy she did not go in it?" "Well, but," replied the bishop, "I don't know your aunt." From - www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/03/jokes-cracked-lord-...

    The primary role of a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) member was that of nursing orderly in hospitals, carrying out menial but essential tasks - scrubbing floors, sweeping, dusting and cleaning bathrooms and other areas, dealing with bedpans, and washing patients. They were not employed in military hospitals, except as ward and pantry maids; rather, they worked in Red Cross convalescent and rest homes, canteens, and on troop trains. The role of VADs did not significantly evolve between the wars. VADs in the Second World War were given more medical training, but they were not fully qualified nurses. They worked in convalescent hospitals, on hospital ships and the blood bank as well as on the home front. In 1943, the government created the Australian Women's Auxiliary Service (AWAS) to control the large numbers of VADs employed by the military. In 1967, the VAD movement became known as the Voluntary Aid Service Corps (VASC). Source: www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/vad
