# Bank Street drill hall, Brechin

The Bank Street drill hall is a former military installation in Brechin, Scotland.

## History

The building was designed as the headquarters of the 7th Forfarshire Rifle Volunteers and was opened in November 1879. The 7th Forfarshire Rifle Volunteers evolved to become the 2nd Forfarshire (Forfar and Angus) Rifle Volunteers in 1880 and the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Highlanders, the Black Watch in 1887. The offices at the front of the building were designed by Thomas Martin Cappon and completed in 1897.
The 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Highlanders, the Black Watch evolved to become the 5th (Angus and Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. It then amalgamated with the 4th (City of Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch to form the 4th/5th (Angus and Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch with its headquarters at the Parker Square drill hall in Dundee in March 1916.
The 4th Battalion and 5th Battalion operated separately from 1919 and 1922, when they amalgamated again, and between 1939 and 1947, when they amalgamated yet again, with one company, D Company, remaining at the Bank Street drill hall until the battalion was disbanded in 1967. The drill hall was subsequently decommissioned and is now used by a curtain-making business, Angus Classic Interiors.

# Bank of Queensland (1917–1922)

The Bank of Queensland was a bank in Queensland, Australia. It flourished between 1917 and 1922. It was created by the January 1917 merger of the Royal Bank of Queensland with the Bank of North Queensland.
The National Bank was not well represented in Queensland and, intending to expand itself into a truly national institution, bought the Bank of Queensland for cash on 9 January 1922 "for a price corresponding with the actual assets of £520,000". Their offer was accepted by the former shareholders immediately after it was approved by the National Bank's shareholders.

## Other trading banks named Bank of Queensland
### 1863—1866

A Bank of Queensland had been established in London and opened for business in Brisbane on 13 August 1863 in the renovated premises of the former Joint Stock Bank.
Caught by the fall-out from the July 1866 collapse of the major London discount house Overend, Gurney and Company, the shareholders agreed at the end of 1866 to voluntarily wind the bank up.

### 1970—

The Bank of Queensland's name has since been revived by a different institution. The former Brisbane Permanent Benefit Building and Investment Society, which had operated as a savings bank since 1887 and then as a trading bank since 1942, took on the name Bank of Queensland in 1970.

# Banzumana Sissoko

Banzumana Sissoko (1890–1987) was a noted Malian Jeli and N'goni player.

## Biography

Banzumana was born blind in Segou. He was considered a major national figure in Mali; Cheick Mahamadou Chérif Keïta writes: "From the late 1950s, when Banzumana Sissoko became known on the national scene, to his death in 1987, the entire Mandenka nation was witness to his categorical refusal to curry favor with any politician or rich patron. It is interesting that in his immensely rich repertoire of both traditional and original songs, not a single one contains praises for a living person."

## Anecdotes

In his Maanland Mali (Moonscape Mali, 2002; collected into Nomad's Hotel: Travels in Time and Space), the Dutch writer and traveller Cees Nooteboom reports that, at daybreak on November 19, 1968, all small radio transmitters, which had been silent overnight, started playing Banzumana's melodies. He had been banned by the President of Mali Modibo Keita's regime up to that night, as the lyrics of his songs said that all rulers would have been killed. Modibo Keita would be overthrown in a coup d'état on that day. Nooteboom also reports the legend according to which Banzumana's instrument was able to fly, and played alone, when his master was sleeping.

## Discography

In 1962 "A ton appel Mali", one of his compositions, became the national anthem of Mali; the text is by Seydou Badian Kouyaté.
