A Bandmaster

Trumpet and Bugle Sounds for the Army A Bandmaster

A 1920's Gale & Polden training manual with both musical notes, and adapted words to explain the calls, intended for the use of both Trumpeters, Buglers and Instructors as well as an aid to Soldiers in learning calls, especially Field Calls that were confusing due to there similarity, such as Stand Fast; Charge; Gallop; and Rally. This a must for historical military re-enactment.
