    1. In Guernsey - during November 1917 A complete bugle platoon of 16 Boy Buglers were recruited and enlisted into the 2nd (Home) Battalion, Royal Guernsey Light Infantry, during November 1917, they were enlisted under “Special Conditions” That is to say for home service and not service at the Front. They were recruited as per army regulation between the ages of 14 – 18 years of age. The file can be found on our website on the link at the bottom right. http://www.greatwarci.net/army/guernsey/rgli/pdf/boy-buglers-2rgli.pdf http://www.greatwarci.net/army/guernsey/rgli/index.htm Does anybody have the specific Army regulation for this Special Enlistment for boys 14 - 18 years of age to be boy buglers.
