Battle of Balaclava October 25th
1854. A Russian Force under the command of Prince
Aleksandr Menshikov attacked the Port of Balaclava, which was the allied supply
base for the siege of Sabastopol. This attack caught the British by
Surprise, and the commander Lord Raglan ordered Sir Colin Campbell to for
the 93rd Highlanders into a "Thin red Line" to stop the advance
of the Russian Force. He then commanded Lord Lucan commander of the
cavalry Division to counter attack. The heavy Brigade under the command
of Sir James Scarlet, pushed the Russian force of 3,000 cavalry. But Lord
Lucan did not follow up this advantage. This gave the Russians time to re
group and reform. Lord Lucan had commanded the Light Division
to clear the Balaclava Causeway. But instead due to an error of a staff
Officer Captain Nolan. The Light Brigade charged the Heavily
defended valley to the North. This Famous charge of the light Brigade
lead by General Lord cardigan with a Brigade strength of
673. supported by French Chasseurs d'Afrique charged the Russian Guns at
the head of the valley, they managed to get to the Guns only to be turned back.
The losses were very high. 113 killed, and 134 wounded. General Pierre
Bosquet after witnessing the charge remarked "It is magnificent but
it is not war". The battle of Balaclava, finally ended leaving
Balalcava still in British Hands.
Scots Greys During the Battle of Balaclava Across
the valley of Balaclava there stretched a chain of hillocks four in
number, upon which the Turks had constructed redoubts armed with a few
heavy ship's guns. With the object of attacking our position, the Russians
detached a strong body of horse, together with some guns and several
battalions of infantry. These troops, at about seven in the morning,
attacked the redoubts, and in spite of the efforts of some of our
artillery and cavalry, succeeded in storming and carrying one after the
other, the Turks bolting like hares towards the Highlanders' position. A
little later a strong body of Russian infantry moved down to the valley,
preparatory to an attack in force, their front covered by a line of
artillery. The second redoubt fell; again was seen the spectacle of
Cossack chasing Moslem; and then the third little fort was attacked. The
Highlanders, meanwhile, were drawn up at a distance of about half a mile
from the Russians, who halting to enable the rear squadrons to close up,
prepared to charge and annihilate the gallant 93rd. Brave old Colin
Campbell never altered their formation, but received that tremendous
onslaught in line, to use the world famous phrase "with that thin red
line tipped with steel". The Russians were simply mown down, and the
survivors fled. Another body of Russian cavalry, pursuing the flying
Turks, surged up to the ridge which concealed our cavalry. The Heavy
Brigade was drawn up in two lines. The first consisted of the Scots Greys
with the Inniskillings; the second was composed of the 4th Royal Irish,
5th Dragoon Guards, and 1st Dragoons. As the Heavies were moving from
their position in order to cover the approaches, the enemy's cavalry came
after them over the ridge. Lord Lucan saw the danger, galloped after his
men, wheeled them round, and ordered them to advance. The first Russian
line was composed evidently of some corps d'elite, clothed in a gorgeous
light blue uniform glistening with silver. A large body of Lancers came up
behind them, and the rear was brought up by a body of Dragoons in grey. The
trumpets of the Heavies rang out successively the advance, the trot, and
the charge. Like a thunderbolt the Greys and Inniskillings went straight
at the centre of the enemy. Wheeling slightly to the left the Greys swept
on with a tremendous force and loud shouts. On they went, gathering force
and pace at every stride. There came a terrific crash as the opposing
forces met. Through and through their ranks the gallant Heavies charged.
By sheer weight and strength and indomitable courage the stalwart troops
and their weighty grey horses pierced rank after rank, until they were
again seen far among the rearmost squadrons of the Russians. The rest of
the Heavies followed on in no less gallant a manner, until the whole mass
was writhing beneath the irresistible onslaught of our men. In
the midst of the sanguinary struggle the tall, stalwart form of the
adjutant of the Greys, Lieutenant Miller, was seen standing in his
stirrups, and yelling with all his strength - "Rally - the
Greys!". All those who were able fought their way towards him
panting, wounded and covered with dust and blood, and cleared a space
round him. As many of the regiment as could be collected were formed up,
and once more charged. Just then a squadron of the Inniskillings dashed in
on the left of the Russians. The Charge of the Heavy Brigade was over. The
encounter was won. Again the unflinching Dragoons were victorious, and
more than ever entitled to the motto "Nulli Secundus." Fine
old Sir Colin Campbell rode up later on, and uncovering cried :
"Greys! Gallant Greys! I am sixty-one years old, and if I were young
again I should be proud to sever in your ranks!" The
enthusiasm of the troops who witnessed this glorious charge of the Heavies
was unbounded. Officers and men raised their caps and shouted and cheered
as the effects of the charge was apparent in the rout of the Russians
which ensued. Lord Raglan, who with his staff, occupied a commanding
position on a ridge, overlooking the scene of the struggle, sent one of
his aides-de-camp to General Scarlett who had led the charge with
unfaltering courage. "His Lordship bids me say, Sir," said that
officer, "that the charge was admirably executed." The
Russian cavalry retired in much confusion after this heavy blow, while
shot after shot from the batteries plunged through their disordered ranks.
After the charge the Heavy Brigade moved up to the neck of the valley just
about the time the Light Cavalry had been ordered to charge the Russian
guns. The Greys who, together with their old Waterloo comrades the Royals,
were in the first line, where exposed to a tremendous crossfire from the
guns and from the musketry of the Russian infantry who had then occupied
in force the captured redoubts, but they escaped fairly well. Despite
the tremendous fighting, the loss of the Greys was very slight. Their
total casualties were two men and 14 horses killed, and four officers,
five sergeants and 48 men wounded. Sergeant-Major Grieve when he rescued
an officer who was in imminent danger of being killed in the melee. He was
cut off and surrounded by the enemy, when Grieve caught sight of him.
Charging up to the spot, the Sergeant-Major cut down one Russian, and
disabled and dispersed the others. For this conspicuous bravery Grieve was
one of the proud band of 62 sailors and soldiers paraded before Her
Majesty on June 26th 1857, in Hyde Park, when the most highly prized
decoration in the British Army, the Victoria Cross, was pinned to his
breast by the Queen's own hand. Another non-commissioned officer of the
regiment also signally distinguished himself on that historic occasion,
and for his bravery received the much coveted Victoria Cross. Sergeant
Ramage first of all saved the life of a wounded comrade; then he rescued
another from no less than seven Russians, whom he dispersed; and wound up
the day dismounting in the valley and taking a Russian prisoner, whom he
brought off in triumph. Excerpt from the Navy and Army Illustrated January 15th
1897 by G F Bacon
SIEGE OF SEBASTOBOL (SEVASTOPOL) 1854 -
1855
After the British Victory at The Battle
of Alma, the British and French force advanced onto Sebastopol. The
Russian Fortress naval base was laid under siege. The Bombardment began on
October 17th. The Allied Commanders Genral Lord Raglan and General
Francois Canrobert. Decided to Bombard the Fortress as they did not posses
enough forces to take it by storm. A British naval Squadron under
the Command of Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons bombarded Sebastopol from the sea.
An attempt was made to relieve Sebastpol by the Russians by Attacking the
British Supply port of Balaclava on the 25th October but this attempt
failed. Prince Menshikov again tried an attack elevan days later on the Heights
of Inkerman but this again was beaton off. A third attempt to
Dislodge the British force, was made on the 16ht of August 1855 at the
Chernaya river but failed. Several allied attempts in the spring of
1855 to take Sebastopol by storm failed. Finally on the 8th of September
the French commanded by General Aimable Pelissier took Malakhov a
fortification at the southern end of Sebastopol. The British under their
new commander General Simpson (Lord Raglan Had Died) attacked ands took
the Redan, only to loss it again. On the 11th of September the
Russian abandoned Sebastopol blowing up the defences and all shipping in
the harbour. This event ended the war. Although the Russian
force was still in tacked and not defeated. Czar Alexnader II after the
death of his father on March 2nd 1856 singed the final peace terms at the
Congress of Paris on march 30th 1856.

The Thin Red Line by Robert Gibb.
There is no retreat from here, men! said General Sir Colin Campbell (who at that moment may have said to have commanded the regiment in person) as he cantered along the front of the 93rd You must die where you stand To which some of the Highlanders replied cheerily Ay Ay, Sir Colin if needs be well do that. Nearer and nearer the Russian Squadrons approached - the ground trembling beneath their horses feet, and gathering speed at every stride, they galloped on towards that thin red streak, topped with steel the Sutherland Highlanders awaited the onslaught of the enemys horsemen in line, without a movement in their ranks. I would not even form four deep! was the reply of Sir Colin, when remonstrated with for giving the Russians such a chance. Cool as if on Birthday parade The Sutherlands stood until their foes were within 600 yards, then down on their knees they dropped the front rank, and delivered a steady volley. But the distance was too great, and, though a few saddles were emptied, the Russians pressed forward unchecked. On they rode, till scarcely 200 yards separated them from the intrepid Highlanders. When the rear rank brought their Minies to the present and over the heads of their kneeling comrades pourd a withering fire into the enemys masses.Shaken to their very centre, the Russian Squadrons fell back, but, encouraged by their gallant leaders, they determined to make one last bid for victory, and wheeling around, endeavored to turn the Highlanders right flank. here they were checkmated by the grenadier Company, which received the charge with such a volley, that the Russians went Files about and scampered off to seek the shelter of their guns.

Stormd at with Shot and Shell, 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) Oct 25 1854 at Balaclava by Chris Collingwood.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them,
Volleyd and thunderd,
Stormd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
into the mouth of hell
rode the six hundred.
The following is part of a letter from an officer of the Light Brigade who was camped near Balaclava on October 27th: ...there was no hesitation: down our fellows went at a gallop, through a fire in front and on both flanks, which emptied our saddles and knocked over our horses by scores. I do not think that one man flinched in the whole brigade, though every one allows that so hot a fire was hardly ever seen.

Charge of the 17th Lancers at the Battle of the Balaclava by Brian Palmer.
After taking horrendous casualties during the infamous charge, the 17th lancers were the first to reach the Russian guns at the end of the Valley. From the 673 men who started the charge, 113 men were killed and many others wounded. The Light Brigade was made up of the 4th and 13th Light Dragoons, 8th and 11th Hussars and the 17th Lancers. A spectating French officer, General Pierre Bosquet proclaimed - It is magnificent but it is not war.

Relief of the Light Brigade by Richard Caton Woodville.
Depicting the Light Brigade at the moment of reaching the Russian guns. Shown are the 11th Hussars and the 17th Lancers. The all time classic image of the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade which included the 17th lancers, who lead the charge. Lord Cardigan is shown on the left, dressed in his 11th Hussars uniform. The Light Brigade were being kept in reserve, after the successful charge of the heavy brigade, but the slow advance of the British Infantry to take advantage of the heavy brigades success had given the Russian forces time to take away Artillery pieces from captured redoubts. Raglan, after seeing this ordered the light brigade to advance rapidly to the front, follow the enemy and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns. This message taken by Captain Nolan, to Lord Lucan, the cavalry Commander. One of the Officers of Raglans Staff, urged Lucan, who could only see the main Russian Artillery position at the head of a valley. Lord Lucan rode over to Cardigan and ordered him to attack these guns. So the Light Brigade charged these Russian guns, and not the guns being taken away by Russian forces from the redoubts. The carnage was great, from the 673 men who started the charge, 113 men were killed and many others wounded. The Light Brigade was made up of the 4th and 13th Light Dragoons, 8th and 11th Hussars and the 17th Lancers. A spectating French Officer General Pierre Bosquet proclaimed - It is magnificent but it is not war.
