World War 1 Remembered
This new book sheds light on a part of the history of the Royal
Marines that has never received the attention which
it deserves. The men of the Royal Marine Bands had
a specific and dangerous role, particularly when
at action stations in the capital ships of the Royal
Navy, and a high proportion were killed as a result.
Buglers, at that time attached to Royal Marine units
and not to the bands, were often in action and also
took casualties.
