HMAS Shropshire's Silver Bugle

Dear Mac

We have read your web page with interest. My father was in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry from 1935-1947. He remembers the regiment presenting the ship with a silver bugle (the cap badge of the regiment). Do you have any information about what happened to this bugle?

Thanks. Hoping to hear from you

Lynda Melen

Hello Lynda,

Thank you for your E-Mail.

No, I do not know anything about a Silver Bugle presented to Shropshire.

I suspect that when the Royal Navy handed over the ship to the Royal Australian Navy,
anything such as the bugle would have been retained by them.

Nice to hear from you.

Best wishes,
Mac. Gregory
