THE CHARGE OF THE HEAVY BRIGADE: Scarlett's 300 in the Crimea

A study of the men of the Heavy Brigade, from James Scarlett, who led it, to the enlisted men who joined for the 'queen's shilling' and a new life away from the hard grind of Victorian poverty. Charts the perils of traveling by sea and tells the story through the men who were there, of the charge itself, where it was every man for himself, and more. Photos, most in color.
