VERY RARE TO FIND A DRUM TO REGIMENT
During the defence of Singapore, the Cambridgeshire Regiment's possessions, including the Drums, were hidden in the Goodwood Hotel.

After the war had ended Miss Mary Taylor, a Red Cross Welfare Officer, spotted some drums whilst investigating outbuildings at the hotel and recognised the Regimental Badge. She arranged for the Drums to be returned to England where, in February 1946, her father handed them back to the Regiment in Cambridge. It was decided that they would be paraded in silence to honour the memory of the fallen at Singapore and thereafter. Some of the Singapore Drums are on display at Ely Museum.
