G'day Bess
Thanks for sharing the letter its things like that make up the full tapestry of what went on that is otherwise not recorded.
I also have a letter that was brought to my attention by my friend and Crimean researcher, Phil Boys that was sent by a relative who had survived the Charge of the Light Brigade and was written 3 days after the charge to his brother back in England. This letter and another were published in the Warrington newspaper
In his case the horse was slightly wounded and he snapped his lance just in front of his knee. He lived to fight another day as they say.
Regards
Phil.
