Original song with Crimean War photos by Roger Fenton from 1856.
This war was the first to employ the news media to bring home stories of the war within days of the actual event and the first time photography is used to capture images of war. Alfred Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" made the battle of Balaklava famous and stirred the imaginations of millions. The courage that it required for the Light Brigade to run the gauntlet of cannon fire both during a cavalry charge and during the retreat is unfathomable.
The photographs are all from old-pictures.com.
