The Kohima Band,  The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment

The Kohima Band takes it's title from a battle honour won by the 4th Battalion of The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment (TA), during World War 2. Although now part of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, it's history stretches back through The Queen's Regiment to the 4th and 5th Battalions of the Buffs, a history we are fiercely proud of!
