@Caroline... May I ask what regiment and band you served in and when? My first teacher joined the 17/21 Lancers in 1913 at the age of 14, was sent to Kneller Hall by Bandmaster Albert Lemoine, and eventually became the solo clarinetist. He also doubled on sax and viola. He transferred to the Commandos for WW II and wound up in a German POW camp for most of the war. After the war he transferred to the Life Guards and was the solo clarinet there as well as Trumpet Major from 1945 to 1950 or so when he retired and emigrated to the U.S. His B flat ever since I met him was a fine 1950s pre R13 Buffet and I never knew to ask what he played in the Life Guards (though I have many photos of him from the 1930s, in the Lancers, with a silver clarinet). His A was a Rudall Carte from the 1930s that I assume was issued to him by the Army. The Rudall Carte has been restored and is currently for sale by the Vintage Clarinet Doctor, Jeremy Soule, if anyone is interested!
