Regiment 4th Wiltshire
Location Hohne Camp, Germany
Entry The Bn. Dance Band played their last dance at the "Roundhouse" HOHNE CAMP. This completes - to the exact day - 4 years of continous dance engagements in England and the Continent. A claim is made that they were the first unit dance band to play for their own troops in NORMANDY. The first toplay north of the RIVER SEINE (at a small village GIVERNNY), and the first dance band east of the RHINE (at HENGELO, HOLLAND). Members of the dance band are awaiting demobilisation, but a new band is hoped to be formed shortly.
