Into the Valley of Death rode the 600 as the story is told through Tennyson's poem. The Charge of the Light Brigade was a colossal error of mistaken orders, carried out by brave men, despite the men knowing it meant almost certain death. During the Battle of Balaclava they were mistakenly ordered to charge into a valley that was flanked on both sides by Russian and at the end of the valley was the Russian heavy artillery. This tragic and cataclysmic event for the British military shocked the public and inspired Alfred, Lord Tennyson to write his stirring poem of the events just 6 weeks after the event occurred.
A veteran of the charge, Trumpeter Martin Leonard Landfried, from the 17th Lancers made a recording on an Edison cylinder which we use in this film of him playing the same trumpet that he used on that fateful day in the Crimea in 1854.

[@abandonedaccount123]

@worldwarsquared no just a spam link :/

[@rickcheyne]

From what I remember reading, Cpt. Nolan was something of a toxic personality and had some contempt for the cavalry as they had not participated much in previous battles due to the fixed nature of the battles. When the order to capture the guns was communicated Lucan asked "Guns? What guns?" and Nolan responded by waving at the guns at the end of the valley and saying 'There, sir, are your guns." The battle of Balaklava would have faded into obscurity if it weren't for Tennyson's poem and Roger Fenton's photography. The Crimean War saw the first use of battlefield photography and it was also the first to use the telegraph to pass on the results of battles to the public within days. The public back home became enthralled by this battle from the poem and when they heard about the soldiers' primitive living conditions with the onset of winter approaching, they contributed knitted scarfs, socks and full face coverings that became known as balaclavas. Excellent video work by the way! My only criticism is that when firing from a distance the guns were firing solid shot and the shell bursts were timed to go off before they hit the ground. If you're interested in Roger Fenton's photography I made a video called Balaklava that you can find on my channel.

[@heirofaniu]

Another point to add onto Nolan being a bit toxic is that Bingham, Lord of Lucan, had been so notably absent from the battles thus far that he had unfairly earned the moniker "Lord Look-on" from some of his fellow officers, which certainly didn't help matters.

[@robertstorey7476]

Nolan would have been court martialled if he had survived. He knew what Raglan wanted the cavalry to do but failed to explain it. Lucan could and should have refused to order the direct attack he thought Raglan was ordering, its called leadership.

Dedication at its finest

[@johnpeate4544]

The Charge of the Light Brigade wasn’t the disaster it’s been made out to be. 123 men killed, wounded or captured, a lower casualty rate than the infantry regiments at the Alma and the Inkerman. It drove the Russians from their position and Russians didn’t relish coming out to face those troops again. They found it difficult to believe sober troops would do such a thing. It was thought to be a terrible disaster due to the bad reporting by William Howard Russell which was then used by Tennyson as the basis for his poem. 600 men rode through and drove off 2,500 Russian light cavalry. Had the heavy cavalry followed them up as was intended the entire Russian force would have been driven off the field in confusion. Instead Lord Lucan stopped the attack halfway through and called off the heavy cavalry which would have made it even more spectacular. Those Russians never came out on horseback to play cavalry again. They were awestruck by the feat of arms who had had nothing to drink but water.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Yes its somewhat all exaggerated, purely due to the famous poem. The casualties were relatively small.

The Book of Faces took me a few seconds lol. All the subtle details and references y’all throw into the background are why you’re my favorite KZbin channel. There’s always stuff to look at in the background.

The charge of the light brigade. There is also a poem about this scenario which put me in tears. These men knew what would happen to them but they did not desert. Respect and love from my heart are with them.
