A great LP (which I still own ;) ) released back in 1967 from Nonesuch Records H-71075, entitled "Military fanfares, marches & choruses from the time of Napoleon"
Here is one link to a track from the LP.

Fantastic record! Was played when sometimes I was in miniature Napoleonics Battle using Column, Line, and Square rules or the Empire rules (back in the day). Be great music for this game. :)

This is one of my favourite songs of the late 18th and early 19th C.

The song is "How Stands the Glass Around? (Why Soldiers, why)". The tune was sung by General Wolfe at the dinner held on the eve of the Battle of Plains of Abraham in 1759. Wolfe was killed the next day. The song was popular during the American War of Independence and during the Napoleonic Wars. The theme of the song, that the combination of drinking and soldiering went together well, was popular within the British army.
