Episode 3
In this episode the Director pauses the virtual tour of the museum to share some stories from one of the many wonderful books in the museum library. This week he shares some tales about Lt. Col. John Mackenzie-Rogan, who served for 50 years in the army and ended up as the Senior Director of Music of the Brigade of Guards.
A proud Coldstream officer but also an enthusiastic musician too. He conducted his band for Kings and Queens but also under fire in the trenches in the Great War!
A remarkable man by any standard.
