OP I have posted a long time ago about military bugle calls, but only about a few. Sixty years ago I knew them all well enough to whistle them. I'm going to see if I can find a site about them. Here's the quote about one:
"“You are right, Planchet,” said Athos; “besides, the tattoo has been sounded, and we should be observed if we kept a light burning much longer than the others.”

Tattoo is the last one. Of course Taps was composed during the US Civil War. And of course no telling what the French calls sounded like. And because of my deafness, I can't listen to them. I still wish I could find site about that Mexican bugle call that told enemy no quarter would be given.It really used to activate my erector pilae muscles.
