Victoria Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 WOW! The bugle that was sounded at Waterloo, and then at Balaclava. People this is historical GOLD. I get chills just hearing it. To put this into perspective: "Trumpeter Landfrey, a bugler during the Battle of Balaklava (Oct. 25, 1854), playing Charge of the Light Brigade; recorded on Aug. 2, 1890" This is the best spirit of the British -- whether in glorious victory, or ignominious retreat, we remember it all. I'm surprised Lord Lovat didn't have this bugle handy, instead of his piper, on D-Day.
