At Balaclava in 1854, the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders stood two ranks deep against Russian cavalry.
Sir Colin Campbell refused to form square. His order was simple: hold the line or die where you stand.
They held.
The Russian horsemen broke and turned back. William Howard Russell saw it and described a “thin red streak tipped with a line of steel.”
The Thin Red Line was born 🇬🇧
@barbarapym3@SJAMcBride So the ira are victorious
They surrendered
Gave up their weapons
Sinn Fein now administer British rule
The Republic of Ireland gave up their claim to the six counties
There won’t be a unified Ireland unless the British government agrees
You have been brainwashed
@Telegraph@williamcrawley@moneillsf is signing on behalf of Sinn Fein she can’t sign it as first minister as it is a joint office so it is meaningless just like her
