And at that battle of the Alma River, didn't get any action.

And I think he was even frustrated because Lucan had orders to dispatch the Light Brigade and didn't take it.

Like...

These guys wanted to see action.

They wanted to be heroes on the battlefield.

So he gets down there to deliver this message.

They're looking around going like, what guns are you talking about?

And he basically just says over there, he points at the end of the valley and said, there, my Lord is your enemy.

These there are your guns, which was not the correct direction to point.

That's right.

And we don't know why he did that.

We don't know if he was confused.

We didn't know if he was doing it on purpose because he hated these guys.

We don't know if he was doing it on purpose because he wanted that action.

We don't know all this stuff because the guy who got the message wrong was one of the first people killed during this charge, which is not funny.

I'm not laughing, but it's just I mean, this was known as sort of a.

a war folly by the end of it, even though, as we'll see, it didn't turn out to be a complete loss.

Yeah, I think it fits the act structure.

Sorry, everybody.

We'll be right back.
