Does accuracy actually matter, and should I bother to get cross when people are sloppy? I suppose the mental-health-correct answers are No and No. However, I would just like to go AAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHH for a moment before directing your attention to a page at Musicroom.com where you can buy the music for the Last Post, a topic back to which I shall come.
Here's their description of what you get when you buy this music:
- Calvary Last Post
- Calvary Reveille
- Infantary Last Post
- Infantary Reveille
Just tell me - how hard is it to get this right? I do find this pretty pathetic.
Just in case you are at sea with these spellings, and to try to be helpful through my gritted teeth:
- Infantry is foot-soldiers
- Cavalry is mounted soldiers, formerly on Dobbin, now mostly in tanks
- Infantary is just garbage
- Calvary is the place where Christ was crucified
I am going off in a grump now, as soon as I have emailed Musicroom.com. Gak!!!!

Update: they fixed it, hurrah. It took two goes over two days, which is slightly less hurrah: first time round they fixed the Infantary but left Calvary well alone. Reverent but misguided? Who knows. Certainly Calvary Last Post is a different concept. Oh well, it's done now.
