Dear Colleagues,
I have received a letter from a gentleman who is trying to obtain any
information about The Caledonian Orchestra.
He has a baton that was presented to his grandfather, Stewart W. Hawkins in
1923 by friends and members of the orchestra. He also has a postcard that
contains a photograph of the orchestra taken in 1928 and includes his
grandfather. He is fairly certain the orchestra was based in London because
his grandfather worked in Simpkin Marshalls booksellers.
If you can help in any way, please contact me and I will forward the
information.
Regards,
Peter
