The Field Day

Balaclava Poem

by Donald Featherstone

The "Household" first, the "heavies" then,
The Lancers and Hussars -- the men
Who charged the guns as one to ten
On Balaclava's field;

Then the far-famed Artillery,
And then the British Infantry,
First on the scroll of Victory,
To none their claims may yield.
