Not a Drum Was Heard is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by William A. Wellman. The title is taken from the first line of Charles Wolfe's poem "The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna": Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,As his corse{sic} to the rampart we hurried;Not a soldier discharged his farewell shotO'er the grave where our hero we buried.
