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

Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of Death rode the six hundred.

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

Cavalry is the correct spelling and is the correct answer too about Englisg cavalry in the Crimean War

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."

Mars, the motto of the gladiators was;we who are about to die,salute you.They said this to the Roman Emperor,as he sat amongst the crowd watching the fight.

Gëna Lyn Froggatt, there were two types of cavalry in the crimea;hussars & dragoons.The Light Brigade were the 11th Hussars.

Mriya, Yes,it's also where the name for the woollen head covering comes from.Most of the English soldiers wore woollen balaclavas against the bitter cold.

I do not understand why the quiz masters of this game have such a tough time with England/English, Britain/British, and United Kingdom. These terms are WELL DEFINED and known more by the quiz-takers than the writers. Please do better. We beg you.

Question should read "British" not just "English" as written. Scot and Irish had a significant presence in the Light Brigade.
Belka
EddieConEddie, Agreed, brother!

Mriya, они так пишут
NYPAM
Question should read British, not just English. Scot and Irish were part of the Light Brigade. Britain is a United Kingdom, not just England.
NYPam
Should read "British" not just "English", as Scot and Irish troops were very much a part of the Light Brigade (unsure if any Welsh but could have been). To say just "English", ignores their contribution to this famous charge.

Gingernuke1, that's the motto of gladiators in the arena of the Roman Colosseum where they were forced to battle to the death ... how unfortunate that hundreds of years after the fall of the Roman Empire, our army personnel (especially the lower ranked) still have to follow this doctrine 😓

XenaWarriorArchivist, Thank you! I was trying to think of the difference to try to explain to them & it's the spelling & pronunciation, a different word entirely!
