This is a magnificent entry! and amazing to see a sword with this kind of provenance. I have studied the Crimean war for many years, and of course, these other actions are foreshadowed by the immortal 'Charge of the Light Brigade', but the bravery and gallantry of all the men in all these actions are remarkable.

The British gallantry in the history shared here with this officers last words echo those of the mortally wounded Lord Nelson at Trafalgar (1805),
" Thank God Ive done my duty".
Moving and wonderful.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
