Happy Birthday Rifleman Williams

South Korea - April 2011
The Band and Bugles of The Rifles flew to South Korea at the end of April, primarily to support the 60th Anniversary of the Battle of the Imjin River.
Over a busy 8 day period the Band and Bugles performed at 15 engagements, including at the Gloster Hill Memorial at Solma-ri, the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul, US Army Garrison Yongsan, the UN Memorial Cemetery in Busan and the Commonwealth Memorial in Gapyeong.
