These photographs have recently come to light, and have been loaned to the Band by Maurice Metcalfe, the Band Secretary. Unfortunately, it is not possible to acknowledge the photographer, given that they have been taken at different times, locations, and by different people. But, whoever they are, we would like to thank them.
