Into the Valley of Death

The Charge of the Light Brigade and the Crimean War

By Gregory Blake
‘Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell. Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell, Rode the six hundred.’ — Alfred Lord Tennyson.
