I assume that the cost of maintaining a private soldier is covered by £36 a year, while his allowance of 4d. a day amounts to £6, 1s. 4d. In order to cover the extra allowances which may be made to corporals, buglers, and trumpeters, I assume the average cost of the rank and file to be £45 a year.
They commence theirs on their big drums with a dismal roll which gives you the idea of a funeral. But, on the contrary, their buglers have pretty airs for sounding the reveille, while ours only give two or three blasts, as much as to say: "Come, let us be going! there is no time to lose."
Course soldiers have to take their chance, even if they are only buglers, and I took mine, and got it. Now my wound's better, I don't feel like giving up. I feel as if I hadn't half had my innings. I haven't even got to be what you are full private. But, I say, it ain't getting dark yet, is it?" "No, Punch. But I feel so giddy I can hardly see." "Look out, then!" cried the boy excitedly.
The great reveille that was awakening the world was followed by the British buglers calling to arms the soldiers of the King. Notwithstanding the aversion of the English prime minister, Pitt, to commence hostilities, war was unavoidable. One of the twelve battalions of infantry selected for the front was the 49th.
Colonel McDonnell, with a remarkably keen understanding of the situation, immediately ordered his buglers to play, and to continue doing so while they scattered in the woods. As the woods echoed to the call of the bugles, to the shouts of the soldiers, and to the yells of the Indians, the American force halted as if they were paralysed.
And after forcing the gate, when they met with opposition going along the wall and had to lie down before a hot fire from the Chinese, who made a final stand about half a mile from the gate, the Japanese buglers stood up and played some of their quaint war-songs.
On all sides was a bedlam which the arrival of the firemen only augmented. The fire captains shouted orders to the buglers, the buglers blew feebly upon their horns, the companies deployed in obedience to the bugles, then everybody waited for further directions.
Squad leaders are responsible that surplus kit bags are kept in order and fully packed in the field. Men are allowed access to them for the purpose of making substitutions. The surplus kits are packed in surplus kit bags, one for each squad, one for sergeants, and one for cooks and buglers.
The boys had dinner with the gunroom officers, then changed their dress, and had now the appearance of buglers in the marines. The captain at once sent for them. "Your regiment went on yesterday with the rest of the division. It halts to-day ten miles out of the town. There is the certificate I spoke of. Mr.
They write something upon a tablet which each holds in his hand. While the girls are resting, some crowding eagerly around our frightened little Gretel, some standing aside in high disdain, the boys form in line. Mynheer van Gleck drops the handkerchief, this time. The buglers give a vigorous blast. The boys have started. Halfway already. Did ever you see the like!
