Description: | A page from the Boosey & Co. brass instrument order book dated November 1914.
This page records the production of 280 bugles by the Boosey factory at Marble Arch to help meet the army's wartime demand. Under normal circumstances, the order book would contain a separate entry for each instrument, but the number of bugles being ordered was such that the factory only had time to record the instruments in batches. The crows-foot symbol, or broad arrow, in the central column was traditionally used in the armed forces to denote crown property and is used here to record that the bugles were destined for use by the British Army. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work London at War Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1914 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
