Comments: Hi Ian, Thanks to our friend Arthur Withers, a Christian gentleman and brilliant cornet player from Box Hill Corps, I have just heard again the music of the Box Hill Singing Company from 1969. I was leader of the group from 1964 (I was just 16) when this record was made. We also did trips to Adelaide and Sydney during that time. Thanks for your great work. Jan Allen

Comments: We have just been listening to your superb collection. What a heritage our Army has. So sad we do not hear so much of this type of music in our modern day meetings. Greetings to you from us and Norman and Emerald Darbyshire, soldiers of the Liverpool Walton corps UK.

Comments: Thank you very much for all your hard work in setting this site up. It has brought back so many memories of my earlier days as an SA bandsman. I conduct a number of bands and one day I will record My Jesus in tribute to YP Band Leader Reg Allen who taught me so much, not only about music, and to whom I owe a great deal. John

Comments: Thanks for the wonderful recordings of the Salvation Army. I am enjoying it very much. This is a special collection of Regal Zonophones. I have read your message at the Salvation Army3 yahoo groups. My thoughts are going to the victims of the still going on bushfires in Victoria. I am from the Netherlands. Have been to Australia during 1982-83 for one year. I have met Jesus in East-Gippsland (Victoria) on the 12th of December 1982. Greetings and Gods abundantly blessings. Andre
