    The poem describes the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. The 600 soldiers of the Light Brigade were ordered to ride into the valley of death against enemy cannons on both sides and in front of them. Despite knowing someone had made a mistake in the orders, the soldiers did not question the orders and bravely rode into heavy enemy fire. They charged forward into the battle even as cannonballs flew and exploded all around them. The soldiers rode proudly into the jaws of death and mouth of hell, knowing they faced almost certain death but refusing to waver in their duty.
