Bugle Calls are one of the earliest forms of communication in the British armed forces. They are short and to the point and can be heard over a long distance conveying an instruction to “Fall In”, “Retreat”, or “Action” as well as mark key points in the day such as “Sunset”. This new recording of over 380 trumpet & bugle calls lists all the calls used by the Royal Navy and British Army and is a complete record of a time before electronics changed communications forever. Expertly played by Professor John Yates, this CD is a complete reference point for the calls, as well as a trip down memory lane for many.
