Note 483 — SECTION XXXIII: CHAPTER V

Reading edition

See Vere’s Marches and Movements of the 4th Division, p. 28. Napier’s statement that the Light Division was more exposed than the 4th or 5th during the retreat, seems to be discounted by the fact that it had not one man killed or wounded—the 5th Division had only two (in the 3rd Royal Scots), the 4th Division over 200; and though most of them fell in the last charge, a good number were hit in the retreat.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
