The Irish Guards were formed on 1 April 1900 on the expressed wish of HM Queen Victoria to commemorate the bravery of the many Irish Regiments who had fought in the South African campaigns. The Regimental Band was formed at about the same time and consisted initially of 35 musicians and a Warrant Officer, Mr C H Hassell, who was the Bandmaster. The Band quickly gained a reputation for excellence and in 1905 was invited to make what turned out to be the . . . first of many tours of Canada. The people of Toronto were so impressed with the band’s performance that they presented the Band with a large and very ornate Silver Cup that remains a cherished possession of the Band today.
