$\LARGE{ \underline{\underline{ \sf{Required \: answer:}}}}$

First Stanza :-

The poem starts with the phrase " Half a league" which is repeated three times which is to create a poetic effect as well as to symbolise the parade of the light Brigade towards the enemy during the crimean war. League is an old method of measuring distance and is equal to around 3 miles.

Second Stanza :-

The second stanza begins with the command of the leader "Forward, the Light Brigade". The poet wonders whether any of the soldiers of the Brigade frightened because of the fatal danger ahead and answers himself that they didn't know which the fear is through the idea of matching towards the enemy was a blunder committed by someone (means their leader).

However, the soldiers were loyal and brave towards enough to neither the request the leader to return back or question his command. They had nothing else in mind but to fight and die for the country and hence they marched into the valley of death.
