The friend who sent me the flute also sent me some books, and this is one of them. There is no copyright page so I can't determine the year, though I'm guessing its quite old, and Google doesn't show anything.
I think the Life Boys is a series of books for a piping band, not sure.
Anyone familiar with this book?

- Tell us something.: I've been trying to learn the recorder for about 5 years now and want to add a new instrument (tin whistle) to my repertoire. I hope with only 6 holes life will be a bit easier... (John Sheahan's Marino Casino in the Gaiety theatre has something to do with it - whereas my head knows that 40 years of practice is the reason why it sounds so good, I'm still hoping...)

A search for Life Boys has found this: http://leaders.boys-brigade.org.uk/life ... ipcard.pdf
Looks like an organisation similar to the Boy Scouts to me. A further search for "Boy's Brigade" finds a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys%27_Brigade
The "Handbook for Leaders" is probably about how to teach the boys to play? What's the content? Just sheet music or also instructions?
