| Post; The Charge
Close actually. After the survivors trailed in and the Light Brigade reformed, Lord Cardigan rode forward and said ""Men, it is a mad-brained trick, but it is no fault of mine." A voice replied "Never mind my lord, we are ready to go again." (The Reason Why by Cecil Woodham-Smith is the source for this). I'd also recommend Flashman At The Charge by George MacDonald Fraser for a fictional treatment of the actions at Balaclava,highly amusing and thrilling at the same time, as is the wont for Flashy's adventures.
