Exchange Tour with Australian Army Band Corps

The British Army run an exchange service between the Australian Army.  This is intended to develop the connection between the two and for exchange of professional practices and development of officers and soldiers.  The Corps of Army Music is included in this exchange and this year Drum Major Simon Stafford, a member of the Band of The Royal Engineers, is currently out in Australia.

Here is a collection of photographs from his time to date on the exchange.  He has carried out the duties of Drum Major and performed on french horn at several high profile engagements.  He is currently in Kununurra.
