Both sides recorded 17 Sep 1931 with Orchestra conducted by G W Byng. Captain Ginjah composed Leigh, face number 30-7645, matrix OB1384-2. Galloping Major composed G Bastow, face number 30-7646, matrix OB1385-2. The Galloping Major was a popular song (music hall?) which I remember from ~70 years ago being sung to small children as they were bounced on adult knees.
