Billy Britain is credited with being the young man who blew the bugle to start the Charge of the Light Brigade. The original bugle is still extant, despite a Russian soldier piercing it with a lance in an effort to destroy it.

The "Charge of the Light Brigade" took place outside of Balaclava during the Crimean War. A mix-up in orders lead to the light cavalrymen (hussars, lancers, and dragoons) of the Brigade charging Russian artillery batteries and cavalry. Hit by murderous fire from the artillery, hundreds of British cavalrymen were killed during the charge and subsequent retreat of the Brigade.
