Identity of bugler Some months ago I picked up an image on the net of a bugler at RMC which I labelled as 1938 vintage. I am anxious to find out where it came from as I wish to publish it on the net, with acknowledgement and also identify the bugler. It may be that the source was the RMC Band, however I can’t find it in your publications or site. Could you please advise me of where it came from if it is of your provenance. Thanks Neville Lindsay (Email)

Seeking Information I am a member of the RAAOC Association (QLD), and have been contacted today by the secretary of the Association, a lady called Dawn Durrand. The Assn is trying to assist his widow by getting some sort of pension ( through DVA I assume.)  they need to find someone who served with this fellow in band days. His name was Richard ( Dick or Hank ) Hankinson,  - he was Ordnance in 1975, so his band days would have been earlier than that.
