Cannot view in my area. Will try embedded code.

i hope this is stored and treasured and should be highlighted in schools if not already done
I have seen this before but its always great to take another look. Here are couple if things that may be interesting.Sel Duncan's drummer Terry Reyes was also in the RAF. Before returning home he learned drumming. His techniques was way above the norm.Al Jennings whose orchestra supplied the music came to Trinidad after the war and took on some of Trinidad's best musicians to form Al Jennings All Stars which eventually ended up in London. Musicians like Fitzroy Coleman and Rupert Nurse who became Melodisc's Talent scout, were in the bunch.

Thanks - a great find. I'll be sharing it via twitter.
Very great doc. I must say history at its best.
These are our HEROES of WAR; they served well. Thanks.
Keep up the great work. Many of us had to go by the neighbour who was rich enough to own a Short Wave Radio in those days. Many of these radios were battery operated. Not me; my dad said if you can't afford it that's it. I had to wait until I went to live with my sister (while attending college in Port of Spain) who had one with a long antenna strung out in the yard. Lasting memory - Joe Louis vs Billy Conn.
this was pleasing piece of history,so proud of our cotribution to the war effort.wish we all had grown like how london did,and the races had florished together'we all know how that went'
