From Hussars Regiment
IEUTENANT GEORGE W. BOWES (above) who will conduct the band of the 1st Battalion, Auckland Regiment, in a studio recital from 1YA on October 3, received his training as a military bandsman in the band of the 8th Royal Irish Hussars Regiment and he has held his present position with the Auckland regimental band since it was resusitated some ten years ago. For some time prior to that the band had hardly’ been more than a name but it was reconstituted on sound lines and is now at full strength. Instruments alone are valued at £1,100. At the present time the band has a strength of 32 players and to provide against the calling up of any members there are 10 cadets in training. Besides his work with the regimental band, Lieut. Bowes is well-known for his leadership of the Auckland Blind Institute band which has so often toured New Zealand,
