§ 107. Group-Captain Wilcockasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the continual blowing of bugles at Wellington Barracks is a nuisance and source of annoyance to the residents of the district; and if he will arrange for these barrack rooms to be fitted with a system of bells as is done in most camps and barracks throughout the country.

§ Mr. StracheyOne of the functions of the bugle is to pass necessary administrative signals to individuals both indoors and outdoors over an extensive barrack area. If bugles are not available it may be convenient to arrange signals by siren, bell or loudspeaker, but these noises may be more objectionable than the bugle. Furthermore, save for the loudspeaker, the signals they can give are clearly very limited. In these circumstances I think we had better stick to the bugles.
