Nicely done! They seem to be a musical group; there's three figures with bugles. A-one, a-two... POLKA!

Thanks Glen. I also thought it a bit unusual to have so many buglers in a set and also to have mounted ones. It does actually make sense for a senior mounted officer to transmit his orders by bugle, well that's my assumption anyway.  :)

Thank you very much Michel.

For anyone interested in this period and looking for good books on the subject in English I would recommend these two,
