M. We reached a snow- covered and high-lying meadow, where we rested. We had not observed any Turkish posts in front of us, although we were already on the level of two H6 EXPERIENCES OF A PRUSSIAN OFFICER hills on which we knew that there were hostile forti- fications ; but we saw numerous fires on those hills, and also on our right. Suddenly I heard solemn music at no great distance, probably the evening prayer, which was being played by a large band ; and from this I concluded that we must h...ave something like a whole regiment in front of us, as single battalions could not have such a band. My atten- tion having been called to this matter, I ordered the men to observe very attentively where, that is from which direction and how often, they might hear the reveille in the morning ; for here I argued from my Prussian experience that the regimental band would probably play the tattoo at night, but would be asleep in the morning, and would leave the reveille to be played by the individual battalions.
