Re: How were these guys actually equipped?
The first thing to say about this painting is that despite its popularity , it's miles from what actually happened. The Greys ( brigaded with the Royal Dragoons and the Inniskillings , both of whom barely get a mention because of this bloody painting ) advanced across a road, though a hedge, and ...

Re: What's up with that cap. . . a thread dedicated to unusu
Getting back to the cavalry pillbox, it was really just a smartened-up version of the softer and bigger forage cap of the Napoleonic Wars.
The circular style seems to have originally come from Eastern Europe, and was sometimes termed a " Pokalem " by the French , and the first ones had a let-down ...

Re: Varieties of Bugles
FtValleyPS , That's a single loop trumpet , approximating to the old 18th century and earlier types, or the modern State trumpets.
It apparent from all these now intermingling threads that US usage is now to call a cavalry trumpet a Bugle , and for US infantry to use the same trumpet as well , but ...

Re: Trumpets vs Bugles
Some examples on YouTube :

Re: Trumpets vs Bugles
The difference is one of length and bore , which gives a different tone and range when sounded.
Valves are an addition used for orchestral instruments after about 1850, but are not relevant to the traditional trumpets and bugles. The trumpeter sounds the different notes by changing the tension of ...

Re: Varieties of Bugles
If I might chip in with some British observations on the subject : the reason that there were more than one size or type of instrument was largely musical.
The longer the tube , the more notes can easily be sounded.
