Need info on my WW2 Parachute Regiment bugle... please help!

Not sure if it was actually taken too those battles, but I have no doubt that it belonged to someone or a group of men, whom served with "C" company I have just found out it is on display in the Airborne Assault Museum at IWM, within the musical instrument section I will have to go and see it there, methinks

 

Here is a picture of it on display in the museum

 

Bloody 'ell thats excellent !

 

I spoke with the curator at Duxford today and as others have said it is on display but I believe catalogued as a commemorative item rather than an 'actual artefact' from the war.....
On another matter in our 15 minute chat he mentioned that certain items from the IWM at London that were donated by Major General Urquhart are on thier way to Duxford.....amongst other items a pennant and a BD tunic.....
As the Hartenstein has a pennant and believes it to be the one he took to Arnhem and photographed with I'll let others decide which one went to Holland......

 

You cant ask for a better start to finish than the one you have had...... great end result and nice to see it in situ

 

Came to this thread via Ron's thread on folks joining , asking and departing....as Ron says a happy ending and well done Doug for taking the bugle "home" .

Some more rep for your very decent act.

 

Excellent result! Well done that man!!

 

Great looking display

 

Thanks very much everyone glad you approve of my actions It seemed the best thing to do, couldn't let it sit in my house on a shelf getting dusty and forgotten could I

 

Mods/Adamin, give this man some rep points (I can't give enough).
03oldreyd, well done mate!
