THE GUARDS BAND
TOUR OF DOMINION HOME COUNTRY'S GESTURE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. , LONDON, July 28. Major Miller, who was interviewed, said the Grenadier Guards’ Band’s tour would extend "•rough the whole of the Commonwealth, Tasmania, and New Zealand, the band returning to England in sis months’ 'me. His Majesty was most anxious that there should be this gesture from the Home Country. There were many people in the dominions who did not know beyond what they read about old institutions in England—for instance, the changing of the guard—and the visit should bring this ceremony nearer to them. The band will be forty strong and wear full regalia. The tour will begin at Perth on October 3, and after its Australian engagements the band will visit New Zealand for four or five weeks.
