The Bugle
"A Weekly Chronicle of Regimental News"
Vol VII - No. 138 Poona March 4th 1897
Bugle Calls
Mrs. Paget arrived in Poona on Friday
last, we one and all tender her a hearty
welcome.
The annual Exodus to the hills has already
begun and we miss several well
known faces at the Gymkhana when listening
to the Band in the evenings. On
the other hand the various Garrison and
Signalling classes are in full swing, and
most of the regiments in this Presidency
are represented in the Station at present.
The Plague is, we regret to state, "going
strong" here and the number of cases and
victims daily increase.
The following is an extract from a letter
from Captain G. F. Menzies to the Lieut.
Colonel Commanding, dated 15th February
1897.
"Kindly convey to all the Officers and
accept yourself my sincere gratitude and
thanks for erecting a Tombstone to the
memory of my brother. The Tombstone
was a handsome one and nothing could
have been more suitable.
Lieut. Colonel Parker-Jervis, who began
his Army career in the 54th, afterwards
served in both the 1st and 2nd Battalions of
the Durham Light Infantry, and was for
five years the popular Adjutant of the
4th Battalion has kindly expressed a wish
to join in subscribing to the memorial
erected by the officers in Sholapur Cemetery
to our late 2nd in Command.
Lieut. Colonel Jervis and Major Rosseter
Were very old friends and companions.
Our Polo team have arrived in Meerut -
and seem to have had a somewhat trying
journey thither - they are putting up with
the most kind and hospitable 5th D. G.'s
there.
