Last Post

I found this elsewhere and had to post it. It was posted by Dan Archer on another site and it has to live on...

One cold and frosty Sunday morning six of us Buglers from the Staff Band at Deal RMSM were detailed to play Last Post and Reveleille for the local RAF Association in Ramsgate. It was the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Not best pleased by this as the band present was the Junior Band who had no buglers and we all considered it a green rub supporting the crabs and the junior band. Along happens the cheery vicar who spots us rigged up ready to go outside his church. "Good morning chaps, Trumpets Voluntary this morning", "No" growls Dennis Challis, "Bugles F.....G Compulsory!!!!" Exit one hurt Sin Bosun...

Talking of Last Post.............which Bugler turned up at the Polish War memorial at the end of West End Road, with a bottle of brasso and a yellow duster after reading 'Polish War Memorial' on the gig list???
