"Phil Murphy Conducts Massed Military Bands Overseas," Windsor Star. April 20, 1943. Page 3. ---- WELL known in Windsor as a band conductor, Bandmaster Phil Murphy, WO. 1, who is overseas with the Canadian Armored Corps, is seen at the right conducting a Canadian Armored Corps band somewhere in England. In the picture at the left, he is seen conducting massed military bands in a concert at Hyde Park during the Wings for Victory Campaign. "There is not much sign of war, is there?" he observed in a note attached to the picture which shows the huge turnout. Bandmaster Murphy was in charge of the brass band of the Essex Regiment (Tank), now the 30th (R.) Reconnaissance Regiment, before he went overseas.
