Lucan wasn't very nice, but he wasn't a brigand. Cardigan: Now there's a brigand! |

Why not celebrate the Charge of the Heavy Brigade while we are at it? |

Also the occasion of the 93rd Highlanders repulsing a Russian cavalry attack in line formation described as "a thin red streak tipped with steel", which became changed into "the thin red line". |

Somehow, 'happy' and a bunch of folks and horses dying horribly don't seem to go together. |

"Lucan wasn't very nice, but he wasn't a brigand"
I think he was referring to the 7th not the 3rd :) |

"Somehow, 'happy' and a bunch of folks and horses dying horribly don't seem to go together" So, on that bais, one shouldn't wish anyone a 'Happy Easter' because there was nothing 'happy' about being beaten and crucified… |

Yeah, but these guys didn't get to come back, did they? And isn't that what Easter is all about (if it's part of your belief system)? |

That's Holy Thursday. Easter is three days later. |
