' Bugles of England ' by Major J. T. Gorman
A programme with the BBC Military
Band
Conductor, P. S. G. O'Donnell
Narrator, Moultrie R. Kelsall
Here is the sixth programme in one of the best series Major J. T. Gorman and the BBC Military Band have ever put over, and tonight's subject, ' Bugles of England ', should be as stirring as any in its popular appeal. As a musical instrument the bugle is unique. To its calls the soldier responds daily, even hourly, throughout his military career. It wakes him, summons him to parades and meals, rings down his day, and even his life. Who-soldier or civilian — remains unmoved on hearing the Last Post ?
Let Scots not grow angry at the title 'Bugles of England The bugle-calls to be heard will be those of English regiments, and it is of the bugles of English regiments that Moultrie R. Kelsall , himself a Scot, will speak.
