I
feel sure you will want to know the sad news, from Graham Hoskins; that
Lt Gen Sir Martin Garrod KCB died yesterday 18 April. As CGRM he was
a very strong supporter of the Band Service; Graham tells me his support
and advice were of the greatest assistance during Graham`s tenure as
PDM. An early appointment in the General's career was as a Housemaster
to Junior Wing when he was a young Lieutenant, so he must have got the
bug at an early stage.
