Spike Milligan, regimental badgey


* In one of his war autobiographies, Creator/SpikeMilligan relates that as a professional trumpet-player prior to conscription, he took his trumpet to war with him. After a while, his Royal Artillery unit noticed this and asked him to be the "badgey" who played the Rveille call in the morning. Milligan recalls that he'd try to do this without getting out of bed, and play the call through an open window in his barracks. As a professional player, he also claims to have sent a price list to his commanding officer, pointing out the Charge would cost more, with a component for danger money, but he was prepared to play the retreat for nothing as a public service.
