Similar appointments and badges exist for Drummer, Trumpeter and Piper.

Not interested in an argument. My grandfather was a drummer in the East Surrey Regt and was also a bugler. In the Royal Marines Band Service and line infantry regiments, drummers are called buglers and, in infantry regiments, usually form the SF machine gun platoon. Here is a different photo of my grandfather, a drummer bugler, wearing a drummer badge not a bugle.
