 The march was arranged for American band instrumentation by Charles Wiley of Lamar University in Texas.Retired Col. John R. Bourgeois and 25th director of the United States Marine Band, obtained a copy of the original Belgian publication, and to his surprise, discovered Leemans had composed material in the original version which was not included in the existing American edition by Wiley.Bourgeois' arrangement completes the march as Leemans originally intended.
