GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

Six buglers of the Ist Bucks Territorials have a unique war record. They collectively sounded the “Alarm” in Wycombe when war was declared in 1914, and recently they sounded the “Last Post” at a memorial service in the town commemorating the fallen heroes of the battalion. All six have been on active service, five of them overseas. The Germans have agreed to hand over to the French one of the 75-mile guns which bombarded Paris. Following its transfer, the French authorities .will doubtless publish full particulars of this much-advertised weapon, and we shall know whether it was a new design from the ground up, or whether it consisted of a 50-calibre naval 15-inch gun with a liner reducing the calibre to B.2in.
