In Memory Of.

Thanks to all for bringing to our attention the tremendous loss the band service sustained during both world wars. Both buglers and musicians joined at the ripe old/young age 14 in those days but as the training for buglers was 12 months they were drafted at 15/16 as were naval ratings.
I was wondering though how  many young RM buglers gave their lives.
If any buffs out there knows the answer to my query please share it with us.
