Charge of the Light Brigade remembered in wartime reminiscence
An aged veteran recalls the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava with vivid detail. He speaks of the front rank, the smoke and cannon fire, the desperate ride down the valley, and tending Captain Webb’s water craving aid. He reflects on the valor, the verses sung later, and the near V C award in a wartime memory.
