Charge Of The Light Brigade Bugle Stolen In Eastbourne -- BBC
A £2,000 reward is being offered for the return of items stolen from a museum, including a Russian bugle from the Charge of the Light Brigade.
The brass bugle, decorated with a double-headed eagle, was stolen from the Redoubt Fortress and Military Museum in Eastbourne, Sussex.
The borough council and the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars Museum Collection, at the museum, have offered the reward.
World War II hero General Sir John Hackett's medals were also stolen.
The total value of the haul, taken in a break-in on 3 July, is estimated at more than £16,000.
