THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE: The Charge occurred at Balaclava on October 25th, 1854, in the war between England and Russia. It was because of a mistaken order and in twenty minutes about two-thirds of the soldiers had been killed or wounded. Tennyson’s poem has immortalized the heroes who advanced, fearless in obedience, although knowing their fate.

Only one lady’s man. He’s mine!
