Announced as the American Band of the Supreme Allied Command under

the Direction of Captain Glenn Miller with Vera Lynn and Jimmy Miller

( neither vocalist are featured on these recordings )

Miller states the band has "been over here a few weeks now" so the

recordings probably date to July / early August 1944 ( certainly not after

17th August when Glenn Miller was promoted to Major ) and sound

very much like recordings taken directly from the Radio.
