42 Commando ~ Sembawang

Names for first photo from Sgt Bill Bailey's set.

On extreme left on trombone is Trevor Starling, on Tuba is Barry Baker, the cpl on Sax would have been "Sailor" Brown, The Band Master in the middle with the inspecting officer was Chippy Carpenter and the Bugler on the far right of photo is I believe Hallett, can't remember his christian name. Also in the photo is "MY" Bass Drum. The head of the chap which appears over the top of Barry Baker's Tuba would I think have been Bugler "Geof" Chandler. Now the trombone in the forground of the photo I'll have to leave to someone else to name.
