Bugle

When the Armistice was signed in 1918 to end the First World War the German army was required to forfeit much of their military equipment. Huge numbers of items were collected by the War Trophies Commission in London and distributed to museums and institutions across England. Bugles were used to communicate messages on the front line such as attack or retreat. This one is badly damaged and dented.
