RECRUITING GATHERING – VISIT OF A MILITARY BAND
Major MacMullen’s famous military recruiting band visited Coleshill on Thursday evening in last week. the band has forty-two performers and their programme of music was highly appreciated by the crowd which assembled on the Church Hill. On arrival the band played up the main road as far as St. Gerard’s Hospital. During an interval in the programme Mr. Arthur Wall introduced Major MacMullen, who then addressed the assembly and made an earnest appeal, especially to young men, to enlist and support those who were now fighting to defend out homes from the horrors experienced in Belgium and Northern France. The Major also gave some remarkable examples of self-sacrifice which had come before his notice. Mr G.D. Willmot thanked Major MacMullen for his visit, and the Major suitably replied.
