Charge of the Light Brigade

During the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War on October 25, 1854, British cavalry engaged Russian forces in a historic charge. The order to charge, given by Lord Raglan (Fitzroy Somerset), resulted in miscommunication, leading to the loss of 156 soldiers and injuries to 122 others. Additionally, 355 horses perished in the conflict.
In the centre of a gilt frame, an iconic image captures the tumultuous chaos of battle. Against a backdrop of distant hills and artillery fire, horsemen surge forward, their silhouettes stark against the landscape. Amidst the thundering hooves and flashing sabres, Lord Raglan's (FitzRoy James Henry Somerset) signature stands out in elegant script, a testament to the valour and tragedy of the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade.
This rare framed presentation exudes a sense of reverence, honouring the bravery of those who rode into the fray, immortalised in both art and history.
