Central Band of the Royal British Legion
The Central Band of The Royal British Legion is a concert band associated with the Royal British Legion. In 2004, it celebrated its Diamond Jubilee, marking sixty years of music making dating back to World War II. The band’s origins stem from what is now affectionately known as Dad's Army, its founder members, many with First World War service, having all played in the Band of the 56th (Surrey) Battalion Home Guard based in Epsom. However, by 1944, with the possibility of a German invasion no longer a threat, the Home Guard was stood down bringing to an end four years of comradeship.
