joancarroll Posted 28 September , 2008 Share Posted 28 September , 2008 My grandfather was n the RW Fusiliers and served at the Western Front. He insists he was in a military band but would he still have had to fight at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 28 September , 2008 Share Posted 28 September , 2008 Hello Joan, Welcome to the forum. If your father was a military bandsman, then he would have served at the Front as a stretcher bearer. This still happens with military bandsmen nowadays.

squirrel Posted 29 September , 2008 Share Posted 29 September , 2008 If he were a Drummer as opposed to a Bandsman he would certainly have carried a rifle in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
