The Charge of the Light Brigade... |

|
...is arguably the most famous cavalry charge in history. With "cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them, cannon in front of them", the valiant Light Brigade mistakenly charged the wrong objective. In roughly 20 minutes, the remnants of what many felt was the finest light cavalry brigade in the world, began to try to make their way back to the safety of the British lines. At the end of the day, the "noble six hundred" could only muster 198 men and horses fit for duty. |
