The Guards' Chapel 11 November 2022
At the invitation of The Western Front Association and after the ceremony at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day, 'Police Dog Hogan' performed Devon Brigade in The Guards' Chapel.
Written by singer James Studholme in tribute to his great uncle 2nd Lieutenant Paul Studholme, the song was inspired by letters Paul wrote home to his brother before he was killed on the Western Front in October 1917.
Every year The Western Front Association holds a service at around mid-day on Armistice Day in the Guards Chapel (The Royal Military Chapel) in London. The chapel was re-built in the 1960's following its destruction in the Second World War.
