  • The poem recounts a charge during the Battle of Balaclava which resulted in the deaths of many soldiers. The charge was the result of a misinterpreted order. 
  • Crimea War is the conflict and the factor that the Russian army hold all the power. Also the conflict is the ill-judgement of the commander who made a “blunder.” Conflict is the unwavering courage of the members of The Light Brigade who obeyed without questions.
    This is a patriotic poem that glorifies the courage and heroism of the men who fought, tells us to remember the dead and their noble deeds.
