Today is Balaclava Day. The anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade, marked on this day in perpetuity by the cavalry regiments that participated. My own regiment, The Royal Hussars (PWO) @royal_hussars marks it with “Gunfire” at dawn - tea with rum, as handed out to the troopers on that morning in 1854.
To the six hundred! HUZZAR!
“Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!”
@williamcooknews@Foyles@ViperBooks I loved the old Foyles — I confess it was sometimes hard to find what I was looking for, or even to pay for it - but it would be great to go back
🚨 SCOOP – Not a single submarine commander passed the legendary Perisher course last year
Fewer than 10 surface officers passed CQ2, for sea command
The RN need 35 passes per year to sustain.
Insiders blamed low morale & lack of sea time
