  • Collection P18 Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Band Photograph Collection
    Collection P18 Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Band photograph collection. – 1914-[ca. 1990]. – Ca. 120 photographs. P18.1(5)-1 PPCLI Pipe Band at Bruay, France, prior to Battle of Vimy Ridge. Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry had two bands during the First World War. The Edmonton Pipe Band joined as a unit in August 1914. Pipers played men over the top and then followed as stretcher-bearers. The core of the PPCLI Brass and Reed Band was formed when eligible members of The St. Mary’s Boys Brigade Band joined the 140th New Brunswick Battalion in January 1916. When the 140th was broken up in November 1917, the entire Band joined PPCLI in the field. Bandmaster (Lance Sergeant) Charles H. Williams was wounded in the front lines near Tilloy, France 28 September 1918 and later died. His brother, Sergeant Harold H. (Pete) Williams took over as Bandmaster for the duration of the war. Both bands provided music during route marches, burials and rest periods. The PPCLI Band performed one of its last official duties on 27 February 1919 when it played at Princess Patricia’s wedding. When the Permanent Force was established in 1919, the PPCLI Military Band was reformed. Under the guidance of Captain Tommy James, it was stationed at Fort Osborne Barracks in Winnipeg during the 1920s and 1930s. It played as many as 50 free concerts a year and was broadcast across Canada. Around 1935 the PPCLI Bugle Band was formed and then a Dance Band was formed ca.1937. When James retired in 1939, Warrant Officer I Al Streeter took over as Director of Music.
