The real Zap Branigan —- Lord Cardigan, Crimean War
Lt. Gen. James Thomas Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, leads his 600 man light brigade in an uphill charge across open ground against 20 brigades of Russian infantry and 50 artillery pieces. He would be given the title “The Hero of Balaclava” for his actions in the Crimean War. His men better knew him as “That pompous bastard who got us all killed in a suicide charge accomplishing nothing.”
