"Storm'd at with Shot
and Shell", 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) Oct 25 1854 at Balaclava
by Chris Collingwood
"Cannon to right of them, Cannon
to left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell rode the six hundred."
The following is part of a letter from an
officer of the Light Brigade who was camped near Balaclava on October
27th. "...there was no hesitation: down our fellows went at a
gallop, through a fire in front and on both flanks, which emptied our
saddles and knocked over our horses by scores. I do not think that one
man flinched in the whole brigade, though every one allows that so hot a
fire was hardly ever seen..."

Bloodied But Unbeaten (The Battle for the Dunkard Church During the Battle of Sharpsburg, September by Chris Collingwood.
Described as the Deathknell of the Confederacy - Sharpsburg (Antietam to the North) was a savage bloodletting for both sides. It was said to be the bloodiest day of the American Civil War. In the painting, below the Dunkard church confederate General John Bell Hoods Texas Division - or what was left of it- stand in line of battle. In the distance Union Major General John Sedgwicks division can be seen advancing on the rebel lines. During the ghastly four hour struggle the Confederates managed to hold and then repel the bloodied remnants of Sedgwicks division back to the east woods and at about 10.30am, the carnage around the Dunkard church had ended. Eventually though, the Confederate forces were in retreat, loosing Sharpsburg to the Union but prepared to fight on for two and a half more years, bloodied but unbeaten.
