Default RAMC Musician

The metal title indicates a TF unit but surely unusual to have both bugle and band badge? And should they not be on the other arm?

Originally a bugler then became bandsman ?

Is it possible he is a Cadet with a C/number/TITLE and has such has a little poetic licence with his badges, bit like a Boys Brigade armlet?

The badge is bandsman, not musician. Being a bandsman attracted no extra pay, but bugler did [as also drummer].

Fairly common for band badge, bugle badge and drum badge being worn on both arms ....... as they were all appointments, the badges should of course be upper right arm only.

The other man is wearing spurs .....also interesting.
