Probably "Taps". Interestingly enough, "Taps" or "Tapto" was originally a drum cadence, a signal for the beer taps to close and the soldiers to return to the barracks. When the Trumpet or bugle "Taps" came into use it signalled the "end of day" so soldiers referred to it as "Taps". The "Ripley's Believe it or Not" story about the Confederate soldier falling in the field of battle to be found by his Union father with the "Taps" tune in his pocket is unfortunately just a story.
