Pardon me for being super nerdy, but they were not decimated, unless only one 10th were killed. More like obliterated... And it's "cavalry," not "calvary."

EddieConEddie, Your words are very true. So many young men's lives have been sacrificed on the altar of war.

they were not decimated - decimated means one tenth were killed. not nearly all. it was worse than decimation.

Now, I didn’t remember this being taught in school. If it was taught, I probably wasn’t paying attention—I wasn’t a big fan of history in school.

charge of the light brigade was not English. It was the British army. GB had existed for about 160 years.
