Military Insignia
Just curious, found the bowl of a clay pipe in the river.
Looking from the front ,there are crossed rifles [could even be muskets] on the right and a bugle on the left. the bugle is shaped like the DLI one but has a loop in the middle
I tried on Goole and found a clay pipe museum which I e mailed. They havn't botherd to reply.
Anybody any ideas. Cheers.

The bugle is a generic 'Light infantry bugle' that is used by many light units... even the Royal Marines Light Infantry.
It is called 'The bugle horn'... NO COMMENTS HACKEDORFF ET AL!

nonononono, the only regiments who still use the bugle(excluding band purposes) are the RGJ and the LI, wich the crossed rifles i think ure lookin at LI, but im no expert.

*waits to see what Hyperlith and got1 are waiting for*
But in the mean time...
I'm sure I've heard of a fair few other regiments using the bugle horn. The ones I know of are the LI, the DLI (TA), the RGJ and a few others I can't remember right now. According to people more knowledgable than myself "the bugle is now incorporated into the badges of all Light Infantry and Rifle Regiments as a reminder of their original role."

you may have heard of some of the reserve regiments who still go by the name of the former green jacket reg(ie kings own rifle corps, ox. and bucks. LI, and the rifle brigade) who use it. Asides that im pretty sure the RGJ and LI are the only ones who use them in barracks for every day purposes and parades. But alot of regiments use them for their bands etc...
oh and the scabby yanks use them too...
im a bugeler my self so im supposed to know all this but as a cadet i could be wrong!
