On October 25, 1854, the infamous "Charge of the Light Brigade"
during the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War took place. It resulted in over 100 killed. An excerpt from the article:
"Winner of the Battle of Balaclava: Balaclava is a battle honour for all the British regiments that took part. It is usually a pre-condition for a British regimental battle honour that the battle was a victory for British arms. Balaclava was a strategic defeat. The Russians captured seven guns and at the end of the battle held the ground they had attacked. Against this, the three episodes in the battle; the Charge of the Heavy Brigade, the Thin Red Line and the Charge of the Light Brigade, are such icons of courage and achievement for the British Army, that it is not surprising the military authorities awarded Balaclava as a battle honour to the regiments involved."
