This programme for a party for the Girl's Training Corps bears the signature of John Profumo. Profumo is best remembered for the part he played in the scandal involving Christine Keeler and a Russian attache in 1963, which caused his resignation and retirement from political life.

He is less well remembered as the MP for Kettering between 1940 and 1945, which may be why he attended this function.
