Default Bands Photos

Hi MLU-ers,

I just "happened" on this link that has an amazing collection of photos of bands, Canadian in there too, but a great International collection. Something for everyone?

Norm, there are a couple of the 48th Highlanders.

Geoff, I also noticed Queens Own Rifles photos.

If you look at the Essex Scottish pipers you will notice something odd.

Hi Mike,

To your Gramps from me

After all this time, I still keep hoping to come across photos of my Uncle/s, one day. It's so great to have photos.
