DURING A BATTLE BOTH SIDES WOULD WANT TO CLEAR THE BATTLE FIELD OF THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. WHEN THEY WERE FINISHED, SEVEN RIFLEMEN WOULD FIRE THREE VOLLEYS INDICATING THAT THE BATTLEFIELD WAS CLEARED AND THEY WERE READY TO RESUME THE BATTLE. THE PLAYING OF TAPS WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE CALL OF LIGHTS OUT. IT S FIRST USE IN A FUNERAL CAME DURING THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN WHEN CAPTAIN JOHN TIDBALL OF BATTERY A, SECOND ARTILLERY ORDERED IT PLAYED FOR THE BURIAL OF A CANNONEER KILLED IN ACTION. SINCE THE ENEMY WAS CLOSE, HE WAS WORRIED THAT THE TRADITIONAL THREE VOLLEYS WOULD RENEW THE FIGHTING. OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY THE ARMY IN 1915, BOTH TRADITIONS WERE QUICKLY ADOPTED BY ALL SERVICES AS A WAY TO HONOR THEIR DEAD.
