Becoming a Bugler

Getting into the army was one of the special ideas I had, very happy about it going overseas, spending a year in England at a training camp and in the army there was many, many happy occasions, in England. You weren't treated too roughly and the treatment they gave you was in preparation to ship across to France and join in the regular troops that were over there, reinforcements for the front line. That was another privilege cause everybody seemed to want to go to the front line. Not giving too much a thought, going into the front line today and not coming out only in a box tomorrow. That's one of the thesis of the front line. Course, I never got there, so can't speak for that because what I was doing was somebody had to do it, others had to do it and a lot of fellas before me and a lot of men after me did the same thing.
