I am guessing that this has to be one of the first recreations of a Battle scene, recorded on record. July 17, 1901.

The American Quartet also recorded this for a Lambert cylinder, maybe before the Monarch.
Alan Koenigsberg put it out on a little flexi record some years ago. But I can't find it at the moment.

I think "Charge of the Light Brigade", recorded by Willian Lynd on Edison Bell 4026 in 1900 would fall in the same catagory as this recording?

This one is even earlier: "The Battlefield" an anonymus "actuality record" on a British Berliner of March 13, 1899.

Re: First Battle Scene Depiction on Record
The one and only record of "real" battlefield action was made during the final months of WW1.This HMV record is titled "Gas Shell Bombardment".Gaisberg's life was even cut short by inhaling gas while making this.
