Terry got his bugle from a family who took it to football matches and it was in a battered state. He’s been a musician all his life and in various bands such as the Chapletown Band and the fire brigade band. He had the bugle refurbished by a silversmith friend in his band and has since done the Last Post Reveille on armistice days around the country. It had been on his mantlepiece for years and the advert in the Sheffield Star for a First World War museum day made him check it properly. The date on the bugle is 1914 and he realised the original damage came from being used in the war. Terry's grandad, Private Arthur Turton fought in the Yorks and Lancasters during the war. He joined up early and thus avoided being part of the South Yorkshire Pals Battalions such as the Barnsley Pals that were all but wiped out at the Battle of the Somme. Arthur got a blighty wound in his ankle that prevented him from fighting in the Battle of the Somme where most his battalion were killed. His ankle wound prevented him from fighting again but he went back to the Western Front as a stretcher bearer. Arthur's ankle never healed properly and he never forgot his time in the war, he went on parade with his old comrades for the treat of his life. When he died, he left his medals to Terry who now wears them when he goes on parade and plays his bugle. || Terry Turton's bugle dated 1914.

Adjustment to the Story of Mr William Arthur Dagger and the Silver Bugle || This story is about a Silver Bugle. This was donated by the Clifton family of Lytham to the 29th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in 1860. Prior to 1897 William Dagger who was a member of the above regiment came into possession of the instrument. In 1911 Richard Arthur Dagger (who was the son of the above)and a volunteer in the above regiment was given the same silver bugle and kept the instrument in his possession until he returned from a camp in Cumbria; however,in 1914 on the outbreak of war he had to surrender it in exchange for a rifle and bayonet. By 1954 and now known as Captain Richard Arthur Dagger he attended a dinner at Squires Gate Camp where this same instrument was discussed. Soon afterwards a Colonel from the Army Cadet Force Camp came to see the Captain with 'his' silver bugle and presented the instrument into the safe keeping of the Captain who then kept it for several years. Later in life he returned it to Fulwood Barracks in Preston where it is still held.
