Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 3 November , 2003 Share Posted 3 November , 2003 One for you emmagee boys n' girls! Did the Machine Gun Corps have an official regimental or Corps band? And if so where was it based - Grantham or Clipstone? Thanks - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 3 November , 2003 Share Posted 3 November , 2003 On the hoof, without advantage of notes.. will have to refer to a better informed source who has investigated the matter. The 33rd Battalion (who else....) at the very least had a band in 1918; it acquired its instruments from a disbanding Kitchener battalion (I think - sight unseen of notes -that it was the 18th Bn London Regiment). At least one other MG Bn had a band, and I believe that there was a Depot Band at Shorncliffe in 1919. Will attempt to put some more flesh on these bones...

Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 4 November , 2003 Share Posted 4 November , 2003 Phil, Thanks for that. Are there any photographs or records of the 33rd Bn band? Cheers - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
