elin_gregory and essayel! Here is a very special birthday salute for you. This charge is played by Trumpeter Landfrey, one of the surviving trumpeters from the charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaklava, October 25, 1854. The recording was made in 1890 and the bugle Landfrey is playing was used at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
(If you can't get the embedded file to play, you can find the original recording at archive.org here.)
