Lord Raglan

Lord Raglan was a British Army officer and politician, best known for his role as the commander during the Crimean War (1854-1856). His leadership faced criticism, particularly for the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade, a disastrous cavalry charge at the Battle of Balaclava. Despite his aristocratic background and military experience, Raglan's command decisions were often deemed ineffective, leading to public scrutiny. He became a symbol of military mismanagement, and his legacy is a complex mix of bravery and blunders that highlight the challenges of leadership in wartime. He was later appointed a full general and made a peer.
