Answer:
‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ by Lord Alfred Tennyson is based on events
from the Battle of Balaclava that occurred near the Black Sea in 1854. This battle
of the Crimean War, in which England, France and the Ottoman Empire fought
against Russia, immediately captured Tennyson’s interest when he read a
newspaper article detailing British casualties at Balaclava. Many soldiers died and
several others were wounded. It is believed that this was the result of tragic
misunderstanding about the location of Russian arms. Working on misinformation
that the arms were in a valley; the British troops descended and became easy
targets of the Russians. As a result, almost half of the Light Brigade died. The
latter half of the poem praises the bravery and nobility of the British army which
had fought courageously in the war without considering their safety.
The world marvelled at the courage of the soldiers; indeed, their glory is undying:
the poem states these noble 600 men remain worthy of honor and tribute even
today.
