Noble Six Hundred ride into the Valley of Louth at Lalaklava
John Reynolds now of Buffalo recalls the famed charge with the Noble Six Hundred at Lalaklava. He estimates about 150 on horseback returned to English lines after many wounded were later saved, noting the Alma battle as equally bloody. Reynolds rejects the idea of any single action being more worthy of commemoration than others in his service.
