Inkerman

With six hundred men he charged up a long slope and plunged fearlessly into a body of three thousand Russian cavalry, separated it into segments, disorganized it, and drove it back, one of the most brilliant cavalry operations in modern times.

The battle of Balaclava on the 25th of October was followed, November 5th, by the battle of Inkerman, when the English were unexpectedly assaulted, under cover of a deep mist, by an overwhelming body of Russians.

The Britons bravely stood their ground against the massive columns which Menshnikov had sent to crush them, and repelled the enemy with immense slaughter.

But this battle made the capture of Sebastopol, as planned by the Allies, impossible.
