A British force under Lord Raglan had landed in thé crimes in Beptember and had seised the fortified seaport of Balaklava, eight miles. + south of Sebastopol. Balaklava was made the allies’ headquarters in thelt’ siege of Sebastopol and was such an important base of supplies for thei, that the Russians made every effort to recapture it. A Russian asmy under, Gen. Liprand! moved against Balaklava on Oot 26, 1864. The vanguard was made up of great masses of cavalry, upon; whose onslaught Liprandi relied to hammer a path through the alligd torees inte the town. Vorontsov Ridge and a second line of hills lay be tween the Russians and their goal. The ridge was defended by a Turkish force, whose position was strengthened by a line of big guns. Behind them, in the valley, the British were stationed. ‘The Russian cavairy charged: Vorontsov Hage Chai of the Turks made a pitiful showing.

There wore five minutes of turmoil and hand-to-hand fighting, at the end of which the shattered Russian ranks fied back to the wafety of the ridge. The charge of the Heavy Brigade was the most imé portant feature of the whole battle of Balaklava and enn an far mere than did any other move in the fight. Its fame has been paced by the. later “Charge of the Light Brigade,” a spectacular blunder that panned. nothing. ‘While the Heavy Brigade was charging @ disengaged portion of Russian cavairy huried itself on the Ninety-third Highlander Regiment. was in referring to the Highlanders’ defense that the phrase “thin red line” was coined.

The guns referred to Ragian were invisible from the side of the valley where tHe Light Brigade was stationed, The only guns in sight were those of a big battery in the heart of the Rupeian army a mile'and a half away. Toward these—urged by Lucan and Nolan—Cardigan launched the Light Brigade. Across opén ground, between two ridges bristling with Russian batteres, oharged the Light Brigade, Cardigan at its head. It was easy enough advance, for the amased Russians could not imagine that this merq aman of yelling, galloping Englishmen had any serious designs on so huge a force, ‘Into the Russian ranks, straight through to the twelve-gun battery, crashed the Light Brigade.
