A recording of Private Martin Leonard Lanfried re-enacting, with the very same bugle he used on the day, the call to charge during the attack of the Light Brigade at the battle of Balaclava, decades later in London in 1890.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
   Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
   Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
   Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
   Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
   Rode the six hundred.
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
   All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
   Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
   Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
   Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
   Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
   All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
   Noble six hundred!

October 31st is still remembered by some in Australia for one of the last successful cavalry charges in the history of warfare, not for something called halloween. " On October 31, 1917, the 4th Light Horse Brigade of Australia  -- 500 riders strong -- was assembled four miles outside of the town of Beersheba (a city now part of Israel but then a southern outpost of the Ottoman Empire.)  Across four miles of burning Sinai desert several thousand Turks were entrenched. The Australians had already ridden 170 miles to join Allied forces, mostly British. The Allies were essentially pinned down, forced to stay out of the three-mile range of the Turkish guns. The 4th Light Horse was commanded by Brigadier-General William Grant, who was shocked to find the Allies were out of water. The horses in his cavalry were so dehydrated their lips cracked and bled. Somewhere around noon that day he looked across the desert and made a decision that even he thought was suicidal. But his horses were dying. Grant mounted his horse, assembled his cavalry (scattered around so they would not make an easy target for German planes) and at 4:30PM rode to the front, drew what was then the world's longest bayonet, turned toward Beersheba and yelled           "CHARGE !!!"

Odd, for as weird as it seems... Klink probably belongs better within the realm of Napoleon rather than that of the 2nd World War. But even then... Let's say Klink wears a Prussian Uniform, and Hogan and gang in their nations respective uniforms from the era... Honestly I can't imagine how that would go. Because think of it, Technically Newkirk is allied with Klink and Schultz, with LeBeau being aligned with Hogan, Carter, and Kinchloe....
But weird Napoleonic geopolitics aside, the uniforms themselves would look very dashing.

tbh i have NO knowledge about historical uniforms of basically any shape or form but i do enjoy this concept, absolutely adore people using their niche interests to create the wildest and coolest au's. you're so right about klink...
