Title: Into the valley...
Post by: Canada Phil on October 25, 2004, 04:57:17 am

For those interested in such things,

Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred
Cannon to right of them
Cannon to left of them
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd
­Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Today is the Anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade.

Alexander Robert Dunn
- Won Canada's first Victoria Cross at Balaclava, in the famous Charge of the Light Brigade, Oct. 25, 1854

His body has been returned to Canada and was buried in Toronto on Saturday.

It's a crazy world we live in when you think that "The Black Watch" may be about to do the modern day equivelent. Have we learnt bugger all in the last 150 years?
