The CHARGE Of The Light Brigade _ Powerful Heroic Poetry _ Alfred Lord Tennyson

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a failed military action involving the British light cavalry led by Lord Cardigan. However, there was a miscommunication in the chain of command and the Light Brigade was instead sent on a frontal assault against a artillery battery, one well-prepared with excellent fields of defensive fire. The Light Brigade reached the battery under withering direct fire and scattered some of the gunners, but they were forced to retreat immediately.

The events were the subject of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's narrative poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1854), published just six weeks after the event. Its lines emphasize the valour of the cavalry in bravely carrying out their orders, regardless of the nearly inevitable outcome.

The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can.

The video was created by Dream Editing. This is a very iterative process and we test out a lot different footage to give you the best viewing experience. We try not to distract from the poem itself.
