1964 - INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH'. Sold in a London auction room yesterday was the famous bugle that sounded the Charge for the Light Brigade in 1854 and sent the gallant 600 into the Valley of Death at the battle of BALACLAVA. The bugle was sold for £1, 600 in just 55 seconds to actor LAURENCE HARVEY and theatrical agent PETER PRITCHARD, who are making a film about the Charge of the Light Brigade, although the bugle, which is rather battered, will not appear on the screen. The buyers will eventually return it to it's regiment, the 17th/21st Lancers. PHOTO SHOWS: After the sale at Sotheby's yesterday, Trumpeter PHILIP COSTEN, in Crimean War uniform, sounds the charge on the bugle
