H.R.H. The Prince of Wales - Speech on Armistice Night, 11 November 1927

In 1927, the 'Daily Express' newspaper took over the running of the annual Remembrance Festival held on Armistice Night at the Royal Albert Hall. According to the newspaper, '10,000 men and women who served overseas gathered to sing the old Army songs and hear the Prince of Wales.' For the first time, the Festival was broadcast, and also for the first time it was recorded. Fifteen sides (some in alternative versions) were recorded by The Gramophone Company, and from these two discs were issued. RB 2628 featured the Prince of Wales' speech, and B 2637 contained edited excerpts of the community singing. This upload features the speech. I also have the community singing disc, and am happy to transfer and upload it if anyone is interested.
