The British Army is buying bugles were the tunes are played on a synthesiser, you just dial up the the bugle call that you want hold it to your lips and press play. The Army reckons it easier than training a bugler and there a perfect performance every time. The cost of these bugles are £300.00 a piece. When I was younger and out in the North African deserts I always remember the haunting notes of the last post wafting out over those endless spaces. There was one bugler you we used to get to play this tune at a night as he could really hold the notes and had is own way of playing the bugle which was really a part of him. We also used to have a whip round to keep him in beers and to make it worth his while to give us this little bit of pleasure and such strong memories.
