Historical art of the Charge
of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War
shown in historical art prints of the 17th Lancers regimental history,
published by Cranston Fine Arts, the military print company. |
|
The Light Brigade were being kept in reserve, after the successful charge of
the heavy brigade, but the slow advance of the British Infantry to take
advantage of the heavy brigades success had given the Russian forces time to
take away Artillery pieces from captured redoubts. Raglan, after seeing
this ordered the light brigade "to advance rapidly to the front, follow the
enemy and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns. This message taken by
Captain Nolan, to Lord Lucan, the cavalry Commander.
One of the Officers of raglan's Staff, urged Lucan, who could only see the
main Russian Artillery Position at the head of a valley. Lord Lucan rode
over to Cardigan and ordered him to attack these guns. So the Light
Brigade charged these Russian guns, and not the guns being taken away by Russian
forces from the redoubts. The Carnage was great, from the 673 men who started the charge, 113 men were
killed and many others wounded. The Light Brigade was made up of the 4th and
13th Light Dragoons, 8th and 11th Hussars and the 17th Lancers. A
Spectating French Officer General Pierre Bosquet proclaimed "It is
magnificent but it is not war".

Stormd 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,
Volleyd and thunderd,
Stormd 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.

position after the retreat of the Light brigade at balaclava, and having dressed
the Officers wounds and under heavy enemy fire assisted in saving that officer's
life, 26th October 1854
|
| James Mouat was born on 14
April 1815, at Chatham, Kent, the son of Surgeon James Mouat MD who was
medical officer to the 23rd, 25th, 21st, 16th,13th, F., 4th and 15th
Dragoons. His uncle was Dr F.J. Mouat distinguished in the Indian Civil
Medical Service. James Mouat, the son, was educated at University College
Hospital, London, became MRCS in 1837, and proceeded FRCS in 1852. One
year after qualification he joined the 44th Regiment of Foot as Assistant
Surgeon.
Ten years later he was promoted Surgeon and served
throughout the Crimean Campaign with the 6th Dragoons, where he was also
in charge of the General Field Hospital of the 3rd Division. He was
present at the Fall of Sebastopol, the Battles of Tehernaya and Inkerman,
and at the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava his gallantry resulted
in the award of the Victoria Cross:
"Date of act of Bravery: 26th Oct 1854. For
having voluntarily proceeded to the assistance of Lieut. Colonel Morris,
C>B, 17th Lancers, who was lying dangerously wounded in an exposed
position after the retreat of Light Cavalry at the Battle of Balaklava,
and having dressed the officer's wounds in the presence and under a heavy
fire of the enemy. Thus by stopping a severe haemorrhage, he assisted in
saving that officer's life". During the campaign Surgeon Mouat was appointed to
the French Legion of Honour, and gained the Crimean Medal with three
clasps. In 1855 he was promoted Surgeon Major, and a year later was
appointed a Commander of the Order of the Bath. Aged 43 he was given the
rank of Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals whilst serving in Turkey.
From 1860 to 1861 and again from 1863 to 1865 he
served in New Zealand in the Maori Wars, during the latter campaign as
Inspector General of Hospitals, being promoted to Surgeon General in 1864.
The New Zealand government voted him "special thanks for his valuable
Services to the Colony", he was mentioned in despatches and was
awarded the campaign medal. Surgeon General Mouat retired in 1876, was appointed
an honourary Surgeon to the Queen in 1888, and a Knight Commander of the
Order of the Bath in 1894. The British Medical Journal obituary of 1899
described this officer's character: "One who served under Sir James and knew him
well, furnishes the following reminiscences of him: 'There never was a more thoroughly soldierly medical
officer than Mouat; he was always faultlessly dressed, whether in uniform
or in mufti; nothing annoyed him more than slovenly or shabby attire,
especially among medical officers. He had a very sharp tongue, and as he
usually got hold of the right end of an argument, was formidable in
dispute. As he set no small value on himself or his military position, he
always kept up considerable style, and was the only senior medical officer
the writer can recall who made his camp inspections in a well-appointed
carriage and pair.
Sir James Mouat was held in deserved respect by all
branches of the service; and in private life was an attached and sincere
friend of those who won his esteem'." Text supplied by Royal Army Medical Corps Historical
Museum.
