The Glllrdlaii

Perhaps it is not too late for I few thoughts on the Charge of the Light Brigade, which took place one hundred Years 830 15-it Monday on stirred both thr- anggr and t e, praise of mankind. Anger for the stupidity of a com- mander who either did not know or did not care what an order from headquarters meant. and praise for brave men who did HM falter although they knew tha' someone had blundei-ed. '

A French officer who witnessed the brave, though hopeless action was quoted as saying. "I3 if m'8' nlflcent, but it is not war.' And. of course, everybody Tffmembe” what Mr. Tennyson said abouf. It; about the magnificence, tha; Is, "When can their glory fade- o the wild charge they made! Al'- the world wondered. Honour the

charge, they made: Honour the Light Brigade. Noble six hun- tired".

I suppose most of us. who learned the poem in school. let'- It at that. We admired the cour- age of the cavalrymen who rode "lnto the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell", as Mr. Tennyimfi intended we should; but we did not give a thought to the bug? blunder that was I sponsible for

sending 692 men, armed with snbres, against an entire army. armed witii cannon. '.FOfWl'fd the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!" he said.

. 0 O O

The man who gave the order was the Earl of Cardigan. There is little or no record of his per- Esonul bravery, but his military ineptitude will never be forz0t- ten. This unruiviable distinction will be helped along by A book recently published by McGraw- Hill Book Co. of New York. It is called "The Reason Why" and was written by an Engllshwomar. Cecil Woodham-Smith, who has made in specialty of historical re,- search. g

The Crimean War itself seems to have been one of the inexcus- able wars of history. It took place in a period when war could break out at almost any moment and offer very little provocation A slight to I diplomat here. an accidental shooting there, an in cident involving border patrol: somewhere else, and a war was on. In this particular instance the Russians had been making demands on Turkey. ostensibly for the right to protect CIIFISIZIEII1 in that country. Turkey. for reas- ons of her own. did not. want Russians within her territory, so a war developed. The English and French, none too friendly at the time. buried the hatchet, tempor- arily. at any rate, and went. to the aid of the Turks; not, of course, because they had no in terest in the unfortunate Turkish Christians, but because they wer- not anxious to see Russia extend her power in the Mediterranean under the guise of minority pro- tector.

"The Reason Why" is a bril- liant and painstakfng auemp, ,, gel. at the real causes of the kind of military inefficiency that was exhibited at Balaclava. In her re. search and examination M”. Woodham-Smith goes back to the time of Cromwell who headed gm, nearest thing to a military dlc. tatorshlp that England has ever had. Once he had been put 0”; of the way, the nation seems to have made, up its mind to take no further chances on a renewal or the experiment, and to keep the military establishment under my. man control in so far as pug. slble. It was, no doubt. a worthy intention: but it had its dlsaclvan. taxes. In course of time it hap- pened. quite logically. that im. portant military asslgnmcnti went to men of property and 5-,. cial position who could be Count. ed on to respect the status qun thus making it very difficult (Of another Cromwell to arise.

This is how Lords Cardigan anl Raglan came to occupy importan: posts in the Crimean War. '1l.2 record shows that neither had had any military training.

Occasionally-this. of cours., was what saved England ill many a crisis-there was a gru- ius at the top whose skill niaclo up forgthe general inefficiency. The most notable, in the 19th century was, as everyone knows. the Duke of Wellington. He was such a good soldier and strategist. that he could offset the mistaltc. of the, many misfits in high places. But. even he. or so it ll alleged, believed in the commis-
