Mostly published by either Boosey, or Hawkes. They merged about 1920 ... :-)

I think pretty much any pre-war (that is, WWI) music written for band,
either Brass Band, or Brass and Reed. You get the key signature on the
first system, and at the trio (where it changes). It's a pain, because
it is the norm to have it on every system so when you get music like
this you can't quickly check. Mind you, seeing as it's played on the
march, you're concentrating on so much else that you tend just to feel
the key, to some extent.

Cheers,
Wol
