1943
In 1943, Mr. H. J. Stockwell and Mr. R. Rood began the task of re-forming the Southampton Albion Silver Band, bringing together some of the older members who were still available during the war.
The re-formed Band was strengthened by servicemen from military bands who were stationed locally, and was soon able to perform concerts at Army and Navy camps in the Southampton area. This marked the beginning of the Band’s recovery after the disruption of the war years.
