This
is one of the original drums of the band of 21 Battalion, AIF. Members
of 21 Battalion Association presented the drum to 2/21 Battalion in
1941. It was carried by Drummer 'Sam' Kissick at Albury and Darwin. As a
member of Gull Force he was captured, together with his drum, on Ambon.
He and the drum were later moved to Hainan Island, where the drum was
used to play drum rolls at prisoner of war burials.

| Musical
instruments like acoustic
guitars are a great way to relax and relieve stress. Some
styles such as classical music
can easily lull you to sleep at night. Zzounds has great deals on music
instruments. They have anything ranging from electric
guitars to harmonicas. They even have microphone
equipment so you can host your own concert! |

| Used by A Eric
Beattie, a member of the AIF Concert Party in Changi, which was formed
within days of the surrender to the Japanese in February 1942. The
Concert Party, which numbered about thirty, performed a wide variety of
programmes, that were equally popular with both the allied internees and
their Japanese captors, until early 1945. |
