This week we’re featuring a new
personality at No. 9, Sgt. Robert

Moore was born in South Shields,
County Durham, England. His mu

and for two years he sang with the
York Minster
music became for him a profession
and two years later he was appoint
ed Bandmaster in the town of Lang-
holn, Scotland. His contesting car
eer was started with the band of
South Emsale, Yorkshire, with
which he won many prizes. He went
on to even greater success with the
band of .Chisham, Buckinghamshire.
It was with this group of musicians
that he performed in Windsor Castle

Upon Mr. Moore’s arrival in

Bandmaster of the Royal Engineers.
In the early part of 1915 he took
the 20th Battalion, Canadian Expe

came Senior Bandmaster in France,
Belgium and Germany. This meant
that whenever the bands of various
units were massed for performance,
it was Sgt. Moore who led them,
When he returned to Canada in
1919, he was appointed musical
director of the Royal Grenadiers In
Toronto with the full bandmaster
rank. With the civilian musical
organizations of Smiths Falls, New
market and Aurora, he continued to
meet with great success in competi

highlights or this type of competi

Plaintiff Counsel Frank Donnelly

that the jail was understaffed. Mr.
