Great stuff, Chasseurs D'Afrique, Cherry Bums and Sutherland Highlanders and all that. Rumour has it that the survivors of the Light Brigade had a re-union dinner sometime afterwards, more than 600 turned up! Not sure if that is a true story! |

Jim: More than 600 did turn up at the re-union dinner, but that included members of the regiments at the time who didn't actually ride into the Valley of Death. I think only about 120 of the 664 that charged were killed; many more were wounded; 50 or so were taken prisoner. |

Including Flashman who was taken prisoner !

The Russian command group is missing Surat Khan. All fans of Errol Flynn know he was the REAL reason for the charge. |
