Black Powder - Crimean War: British Light Dragoons Command

At the Battle of Balaklava, the 13th Light Dragoons were at the forefront of the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade. Having weathered the storm through the valley, the regiment ploughing through the Russian artillery, and smashed straight into the cavalry beyond, but had insufficient forces to consolidate its position and was forced to withdraw, once again under fire of the Russian guns. In the fiasco, the regiment lost over 40 men, including three officers. The regiment would later go on to play a minor role at the Battle of Inkerman in November of the same year, and the Siege of Sevastopol.

This pack contains three mounted command figures, cast in metal.
