That's right.

So they attack these artillery positions of the Allies on the hills outside of Balaclava.

It turned into a pretty chaotic battle scene there.

And the Russians did pretty good at first.

They had a lot of cavalry.

They had a pretty substantial infantry there.

And they captured these gun positions, these Turkish and British gun positions on that hilltop.

And this is a place called Causeway Heights.

They tried next to take another town called Catacoy, and that was basically the last stop before you got to Balaclava.

But this is where the Scots come in, the legendary 93rd Sutherland Highlanders wearing kilts with swords and rifles.

Yeah, I mean, that's the most intimidating part of all of this.

They were led by Major General Sir Colin Campbell.

And he had a pretty good idea to defeat these guys, and it worked.

Yeah, just more bullets, basically.

I think you're probably accidentally saying cavalry, which I do all the time, too.

But that's where Jesus was crucified, right?

They should really have named those things two completely different sounding words.

Yes, exactly.

It's very confusing.

And the only reason I even know is because there's a lot of old hymns, church hymns that I sang that you sing about cavalry.
