Just a suggestion. A warhorn that blows "Taps" to honor the fallen enemy.

Technically illegal.

Also Taps is a US thing, not a Canadian thing.

It's from 1862, so it might be public domain. And thanks to Hollywood, it's known all around the world like Shave And A Hair-Cut*.

But: though the idea is nice, the full Taps would be too long, and I feel like a shortened version would be disrespecting those it salutes in real life.

So: please NO.

*Funfact: when you rewatch Game Of Thrones (Season 6), a certain character is basically treated with a magical Shave And A Hair-Cut.

Doubtful.

Bagpipes are a Scottish thing, but we are still getting that.
