The Battle of Balaklava took place during the Crimean War (1854-56) on 25 October 1854. It witnessed one of the most famous acts of battlefield bravery, the Thin Red Line, and one of the most infamous blunders in military history, the Charge of the Light Brigade.

Is that Brian Blessed narrating…?
Who is the narrator?
27:03 Turk light battalion hold the first line for 2 hours against 25k Rus and keep the resistance with Higlanders after retreat.
why does youtube support scammers bye posting thier adds is that legal
this cavalry charge was lie british researchers proved this
Hyungjin Sean Moon = 2nd KING.
The inaccurate part of this movie is the uniform of the 17th lancers, which makes me annoyed
Catholic and Angelical church's hate toward Christian Orthodoxy knows no boundaries – Jesus would be ashamed!
The narrator is really enjoying this. Is it Patrick Stewart?
Lions led by donkeys.
I have a cavalry sabre made by mole of London from the inniskillen dragoons who were in the second charge. No evidence of it actually being at the battle but it was the sabre used at the time . My dad R I P bought it off another SKIN whilst serving ..
United Kingdom didn’t fare well in that part of the World ? Think Balaclava and Gallipoli ? Economics and Trade seem to Often lead to Wars ? To this day ? 🤔
It's unreal what men used to be put through. No wonder we're so weak today
now it might be russia who made the biggest mistake.
Brilliant.
The failure of logistics, was by far the greatest blunder of the Crimea
I knew some of this story cause my dad was in a drum and bugle corps named the 27th lancer's.later the name was changed to The light brigade.they would play last or second to last a song that was called fall of the light brigade.miss ya dad
The British have a way of turning catastrophe into success.
Engage!
And now history repeats itself in today's Ukraine where they try to charge with tanks against Russian air and artillery superiority?
Britain was afraid of Russian expansionism but they constantly invaded defenceless country's to expand their criminal royal empire and still to this day Britain and America are doing the same thing. While stupid soldiers fight and die to enrich the politicians
Britain and France should've left Turkey to its fate. The Turks can take care of themselves, even in challenging times. Look at how they saw the British off some 70 years later at Gallipoli! Had they allowed Russia to handle the Turks in 1854, they wouldn't have been a problem for the British in 1916!!! It's ridiculous.
Even today we still talk a bout 1066 and charge of the light brigade. We never wo either but there's no armyvlike the British army.
Tragic how many British lives were lost to defend the Ottoman empire and to face the Turks again 60 odd years later at Gallipoli.
Military horses evolved into tanks
And to think that the whole thing started in Jerusalem with an Easter feud between the Orthodox and Catholic churches.
What a moronic romanticization of imperial bloodshed.

Is that rafe mankoo narrating this 🥳🫶
Charge of the thick brigade.
I wonder what Russian students are taught about his war?
Russia's ambitions still haven't changed!
Lions lead by Donkeys, same old tune.
