thanks Cobie, looks like no one gets the reference.

Did you see Lord Cardigan at the battle site, and the fact that they used the same bugle as sounded the charge to sound Last Post was a nice touch

I knew I could count on you, Far!

I didn't catch that! Have you ever watched the Errol Flynn movie "Charge of the Light Brigade"? That's what originally made me so fascinated with the 600 (that and the obvious similarity to the 300 Spartans).

I did Cobie. Only problem wiith that film was its complete lack of accuracy. I mean they even put the charge up on the North West Frontier. Good moviie though for all that.

I actually like the 1960's version with Roddy Mcdowell and Trevor Howard. Another child of its time, with the film makers bais against the commanders very obvious, but the horror of the charge was very well done.
