Edward Stewart-Humphries in Woolwich, England - 1906
from Childhood: an autobiography of a boy from 1889-1906, page 57:
[In 1906 Edward Stewart-Humphries joined the 5th Battalion Rifle Brigade Militia, spending a three-month training period in Woolwich]
I greatly enjoyed camp routine from Reveille—sounded with gusto by the Regimental bugler, (“Get out of bed, get out of bed, you lazy monkeys”) who took up his stance a few yards from my tent to the doleful notes of 'Lights out' at the end of the day.
