Phillip J. Mather's masterful rendition of this timeless old classic is a must-listen for any with an intention in and value for the past. "Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the then Poet Laureate, composed evocatively about the challenge in his poem 'Fee of the Light Brigade'. Tennyson's poem, written on Dec 2, 1854 and shared six weeks following the event on Dec 9, 1854, in The Examiner, praises the Brigade ('When can their glory fade? O the outdoors demand they made!') while trenchantly mourning the appalling futility of the demand ('Not tho' the soldier understood, someone experienced blunder'd.... Charging an military, while all the globe wonder'd'). Tennyson composed the poem inside only a few minutes after reading a merchant account of the challenge in The Times, matching to his grandson Sir Charles Tennyson. It immediately became hugely popular, and even reached the soldiers in the Crimea, where it was allocated in pamphlet form." (Wikipedia)
