Lightly toned, and polished as can be expected for a long service soldier, with a few tiny marks and nicks in places. Proudly worn, fair. Trumpet Major Albert Albert Horace Imeson enlisted as a Trumpeter Private in the 4th Dragoon Guards at the age of 14, later serving during the Punjab campaign of 1897-98. On completion of 12 years’ service he was living in Derbyshire and enlisted into the Derbyshire Yeomanry in the Great War and was severely wounded at Gallipoli in 1915. Presumably as a result of his wounds he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. Awarded his RAF LS&GC Medal in 1920 in 1922 Imeson was appointed the first official Trumpet-Major in the Royal Air Force. From this period until his retirement in 1931 he taught recruits to play the bugle and trumpet. Annually he would train and lead the trumpeters at the Armistice Day Cenotaph ceremony and played at the memorial service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on 10 October 1930 to the victims of the R.101 disaster. On reaching 55 years’ service he was discharged to a pension on 28 October 1931 on completion of 29 years and 110 days regular service. Four years later he died, aged 59, at his home, Casella, Hercies Road, Hillingdon, Middlesex. In his obituary published in the Daily Express it stated: ‘Last Post will be sounded on Wednesday over the grave of the man who has sounded the same call every Armistice Day for the past seven years at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. He was Trumpet-Major A. H. Imeson, late of the Royal Irish Dragoons, who died yesterday at Hillingdon, Middlesex, aged fifty-nine. The hill passes of India heard his trumpet, and it rang on the battlefields of Gallipoli, where he was wounded in action. Millions throughout the world have heard its notes broadcast on Armistice Day.’ A further more detailed obituary was published in a Tasmanian newspaper, The Mercury, it read: Trumpet-Major Albert H. Imeson, the finest trumpeter the Royal Air Force has ever known has died at his home in Hillingdon, near Uxbridge. Thousands of airmen new “Ime”. For years he was one of the most popular figures in the training depot at Uxbridge. For seven years he was called upon to train and lead the trumpeters at the Armistice Cenotaph service in London. At all the big Royal Air Force ceremonial parades, including the funeral of the R.101 victims, he had charge of the trumpeters sounding “The Last Post.” “Ime” taught hundreds of men how to blow a trumpet and bugle. His whole life was devoted to “calls”. At the age of 14 he joined the Dragoon Guards as a trumpeter and served in India for 12 years. During the war he was severely wounded at Gallipoli. Later he transferred to the Royal Air Force, and was appointed trumpet-major of the band. Just before he was due to be discharged on pension he said, “It will kill me if I leave the service. I can never go on without my trumpet.” As a civilian he “haunted” the Royal Air Force depot at Uxbridge. He refused to leave the district, living only a short distance from the camp gates. Now he has died at the age of 59 – died, his friends say, of a broken heart. At his funeral on the 2 October 1935 The R.A.F.
