There is a gravestone in St. Helena's churchyard in Beaufort SC for a William Cory an Englishman who survived the Charge of the Light Brigade and also fought for the Confederate Army in the Civil war and also survived that too

Actually I'm from Crimea and have to mention that name of the bay and town nearby is Balaklava (not Balaclaya).

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.

arohanui, Decimated also means a large portion killed or destroyed besides meaning 1 in 10 killed. Look it up & you will see.

VintageMoose2293, I agree, great game!!

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.
