Earlier this week, seven soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment (RG) took part in the annual Commanding Officer’s Silver Bugle Competition at Devil’s Tower Camp (DTC).

The seven competitors took part in the event which was held in Sortie Building.

The winner was announced by the Commanding Officer as Drum Major Baglietto.

The competitors were inspected on their turnout and deportment by the Regimental Quarter Master Sergeant, Warrant Officer Leigh Thorne. 

Following the inspection, each bugler then had to perform two bugle calls as selected by the adjudication panel consisting of the Commanding Officer (Lieutenant Colonel David King), the Regimental Second In Command (Major Simon Dyson), the Adjutant (Captain Jose Garcia-White) and assisted by the Bandmaster (WO1 Richard Burton). 

Lieutenant Colonel King said: “In giving a bugle call in public you carry the reputation of the Regiment in a way a few other soldiers can.  The Regiment would be proud and honoured for any of you to represent it”.
