Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1854 narrative poem ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ tells of the heroic charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. Published on 9 December 1854 in ‘The Examiner’ — part of the second verse —
“… Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.”
