	~~The '''Battle of Balaclava''', fought on 25 October 1854,~~ was a military engagement between the [[Russia\|Russian Empire]], and the allied forces of [[British Empire\|British]], [[Ottoman Empire\|Ottoman]], and [[French Empire\|Second French Empire]], during the {{Wiki\|Crimean War}}.

	With Allied forces settling in for a long siege of the coastal city of Sevestapol, the [[United Kingdom\|British]], under {{Wiki\|FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan\|Lord Raglan}}, took Balaclava and the right flank of the siege. Realizing the British were understrength, Russian forces charged the British defences and managed to capture several redoubts and their artillery pieces.

	In an attempt to recapture the redoubts, Lord Raglan gave order to {{Wiki\|George Bingham, 3rd Earl of Lucan\|Lord Lucan}}, who commanded the cavalry forces, to send the Light Brigade to harry the Russian forces who had seized the artillery positions on the south side of the battlefield. Lord Lucan subsequently ordered his brother-in-law, [[James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan]], to harry the Russian forces; unfortunately for the British, Lucan's messenger didn't deliver the information clearly enough. Lord Cardigan dutifully led the {{Wiki\|charge of the Light Brigade}} against a heavily fortified Russian artillery position at the end of the valley, resulting in casualties in excess of 40%.

	The standing fast of a thinly-spread [[Scotland\|Scottish]] regiment, the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, against a Russian cavalry charge, is the origin of the modern phrase 'Thin Red Line', to describe the situation when bravado alone can result in an unlikely victory.
