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. 25 parts Concert Band Instrumentation Quick March Key Signature: Ab Major Instrumentation: Solo Bb Cornet (Conductor handwritten at top) Eb Flute & Piccolo Oboes Eb Clarinet 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd & 4th Bb Clarinets 1st Bassoon 2nd Bassoon Solo Eb Saxhorn (or Eb Alto Saxophone) 1st Bb Baritone ( or Bb Tenor Saxophone) 1st Eb Horn 2nd Eb Horn 3rd Eb Horn 4th Eb Horn Eb Trumpets Solo Bb Cornet 1st Bb Cornet (or Bb Soprano Saxophone) 2nd Bb Cornet 1st Trombone 2nd Trombone Bass Trombone Euphonium (Baritone) Bombardon (Tuba) Side Drum Bass DrumOn envelope: Qm172, March The Rifleman Gray, Q147, Scrubbed out 366 29 Sep 1941, 18 May 1942, 3 Aug 1942, 15 Aug 1942, 16 Jul 1943 Stamped on the reverse of each card: Australian Broadcasting Co. & The Property of Musical Director & Arranger Charles Godfreybrass band, australian broadcasting commission, marching band, concert band

The Boer War Memorial was created by sculptor James White in honour of Australian Soldiers who fought in the South African War (1899-1902). White used the electrolytic copper deposit method to produce this large statue, which is sometimes mistaken for a cast bronze work. The Foundation stone was laid on 18 May 1901 by H.R.H The Duke of York (George V). The sculpture was unveiled on the 1st November 1906 by His Excellency Baron Northcote G.C.I.E., C.B. Governor General of Australia and then Mayor of Ballarat, J. J. Brokenshire. Bravery and mateship are beautifully captured in depiction of a scene taken straight from the battlegrounds. Today the memorial is a much-photographed tribute and exploration of the friendships and struggles of men at war. A proud cavalry horse bears the weight of two men in the chaos of the battlefield. The Boer War in Africa was an early example of the Australian Colonies sacrificing men and equipment for Britain to defend it’s Empire against colonial insurgence. The memorial is of historical and aesthetic significance to the people of Ballarat.Horse and figures, bronze mounted on bluestone base and granite plinth, plaques list the war dead. The artwork depicts two soldiers and a horse. A British soldier is being succoured by an Australian mounted rifleman. In honour of Australian Soldiers who fought in South Africa 1899-1902.
