HOBJ2127 Accession Number: HOBJ2127

Description

Soldiers from the 16th New Zealand Field Artillery Regiment and the US Army, sit on sloping ground in a rest area and listen to a band of the US Army's 1st Cavalry Division. Some band members are seated on wooden benches, while others stand at the rear of the band. Their shoulder patches consist of a Norman shield (yellow) with a black diagonal stripe, and a black horse's head cut off diagonally at the neck. This insignia is also on the outside flap of their leather shoulder bags, which are probably sheet music cases. The band leader is conducting at the front of the band and is holding his trumpet in readiness to play. Note most of the members of the band are wearing helmets and have water bottles hanging from their waists.
