In 1932 the call was put out to the ABC to start a military band. The band’s task was to record music to play on air four times a week, and to perform live concerts for the public. By November 1933 a band was put together with 40 musicians from around Australia. The band was initially conducted by Captain H. E. Adkins, Director of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, London. After the tour, Adkins returned to his position at Kneller Hall, and Stephen Yorke, a retired bandmaster of the Gloucestershire Regiment, was brought out to Australia to become the permanent director and conductor of the band, which he did until the band closed in 1951. During the band’s 17 year history they presented a sizable program of music. Their final concert received a standing ovation from its audience of 1500, with a teary-eyed Yorke. 33 Parts Concert Band Instrumentation Quick March Key Signature: Eb Major Instrumentation: Piccolo Db 1st Flute 2nd & 3rd Flutes Oboes Eb Clarinet 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd Bb Clarinet Alto Clarinet Bass Clarinet Bassoons Soprano Saxophone Alto Saxophone Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone 1st & 2nd Tenors 1st & 2nd Bb Trumpets Eb Cornet Solo or 1st Bb Cornet 2nd Bb Cornet 1st & 2nd Horns 3rd & 4th Horns 1st & 2nd Trombones 3rd & 4th Trombones 3rd & 4th Bb Basses or 3rd & 4th Trombones (Treble Clef) Euphoniums/Baritone (Treble Clef) Euphoniums (Bass Clef) Basses Drums HarpOn envelope: QM37.

Ill, p.380.non-fictionBased on his diaries, this is a frank account of how Mason came first in French Foreign Legion basic training, trained other Legionnaires, went to Africa, did sniper, commando and medic's training and took part in two operations, both in the Republic of Djibouti, where a civil war nearly crippled the nation. It tells of his daily life in the Legion, in the training regiment, in Africa and with the Legion's Parachute Regiment.
