Get "Extra" Scare Cold Stream Guards Band Causes Diversion London, Sept. 11.
The Cold Stream Guards, stationed in Shanghai in 1927, gave London a realistic little war scare today while hundreds of Britons were watching the arrivals and departures of Cabinet Ministers and distinguished foreign diplomats from No, 10 Downing Street.
Crowds lining the pavements outside the Foreign Office, rushed to the far end of Downing Street when they heard strains of military march music which they apparently believed were connected with the mobilization of troops because of the tense European crisis. What they found was a parade of the Cold Stream Guards with their band followed by former officers and men of the Cold Streams in their annual reunion ceremony, Reveille was sounded and the Col Stream Guards band then played the National Anthem as hundreds of mi reverently bared their heads.
