  • Bodians

    Hi
    I know this might sound daft but I have a picture of my father playing in a band the banners on the front of the stands reads Bodians I have googled this but nothing has come up. He was in the army at this time but there is no record on line that I can see of it any surgestions as to where to look would be greatful.
    Thank you

        Hi - was this in WW11?? and do you know what area of the UK?
        It seems to mean a type of large fish or BODIAN, BODI: Invented name for a "messenger; announcer. A person or thing used for communication." Inspired by Old English ábodian, meaning "to announce, proclaim."
        Do you think it could be a type of horn/loud speaker?? Body can mean the sound box of a musical instrument or the fullness of a musical tone..

          Hi
          it would be after WW2 as he is older by the looks of the photo it might have been taken when he was in the Camerunians in Singapore but that is a guess
