My father was in the military and I remember this from when I was a kid and it would come on the radio when we were living abroad in various places in the 1950s and early 1960s. It's not played now because the political correctness brigade has outlawed it, along with several other "jingoistic" tunes. Other countries aren't worried about playing patriotic music so why should we Brits be?
@Orlik1946 -- Yes, indeed. Unfortunately one rarely heard more than the opening bars when it was used as the introductory music for the BBC's 'Radio Newsreel' programme. Glad that the complete march has finally been posted. Many thanks.

@Sunflowers159 seems to me that "we Brits" are worried about what any one thinks of us nowadays.

This march -- "Imperial Echoes" -- was written in 1913 by W.H. Myddleton under the pen name "Arnold Safroni".
King George VI looks very elegant in this photo.
