General Sir James Scarlett
The morning of the Battle of Balaklava, on 25 October 1854, saw a desperate charge against a greatly superior Russian force. This charge was not that of the Light Brigade, which took place later the same day, but that of the Heavy Brigade, under the command of General James Scarlett. Epitomized by the reckless courage of the British cavalry in the face of heavy odds, the charge was a complete success, putting the Russians to flight.
James Scarlett himself has also been unfairly ignored due the focus on the enmity between the Earls of Cardigan and Caught by surprise, Scarlett dressed the three hundred men nearest to him, placed himself well ahead of them and charged uphill to an extraordinary and unlikely victory.The Charge of the Heavy Brigade, a resounding success, has unjustly been overshadowed by the blunders that led to the heroic defeat of the Charge of the Light Brigade.
