The Lancer Band with Elizabeth Smith

Alex Lloyd speaks with Elizabeth Smith and members of The Lancer Band. Life on the Line tracks down Australian war veterans and records their stories. Most weeks we also have a bonus episode, where we speak to historians, authors and others in the veterans community. Today’s bonus episode is with Elizabeth Smith of the Lancer Band. They’re the Regimental Band of the Royal New South Wales Lancers and are the oldest military band in Australia. Alex Lloyd spoke with Liz and some other members of the band at the Lancer Barracks in Parramatta, at one of their weekly rehearsals. 

The Lancer Band were featured again on the podcast in the Reserve Forces Day Parade 2018 highlights episode.
