This a long shot, and I don't really hold out much success. I am trying to get any information on Drum Major Grenville Hall, who was based at the Army Apprentices School, Harrogate N Yorkshire during the period I was there - 1961-64. I had great respect for that man, and he taught me a lot, some of the advice he gave me I still use today, 47 years later. "Drummy" hailed from Keighley in Yorkshire, and I would like to get any information possible about him. He was a good man.

Hi, D/M "Nobby" Hall I believe passed away some years ago. From what I remember he was originally a Cameron Highlander (Mil Band)and transferred to the Gordon Highlanders to take over as D/M. As he was D/M and Iwas only a young drummer in the QOHldrs at the time I did not know him well.

Hope this helps!

Grenville Hall was my father

Hi Phil,

Try the Queen's Own Highlanders museum website as they could probably help. Or try the regiment's Facebook group.
