Time of the Light Brigade

The "Charge of the Light Brigade" refers to a famous event during the Battle of Balaclava in 1854, part of the Crimean War. British cavalry soldiers, known as the Light Brigade, mistakenly launched a direct attack against well-defended Russian artillery, despite unclear orders. The charge was intense and costly, with many soldiers killed or wounded. The event is often remembered as a symbol of bravery and the futility of miscommunication in warfare. It highlights the importance of clarity in military commands and has become a powerful poem and historical lesson on courage and mistake.
