The Music Room at the Royal Pavilion was used as a hospital for WWI soldiers from India fighting for King and Empire.Īnother bugler was found, blasting the soldiers from a dead sleep.
Taken completely by surprise and overwhelmed by the prospect of going into battle to protect his sovereign from an unknown enemy already on the attack, he couldn’t find the breath to blow into the horn. In the dead of night, the regiment’s trumpeter was roused to bugle the alarm. He encouraged their commander to demonstrate such readiness. During the course of a late evening entertainment, the Prince inquired whether the dragoons might be summoned at a moment’s notice. They were to protect His Royal Highness in the event of invasion or some other circumstance threatening his safety. The Prince’s residence in Brighton necessitated the stationing of dragoons in barracks about a mile and half north of the town. Royal Pavilion Music Room – Brighton (photo via )
