CARDIGAN, James Thomas Brudenell, 7th Earl. Free front, written by Cardigan, and signed by him lower left. 1839. Uncommon. Lord Cardigan (1797-1868) led the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaklava on 25 October 1854, losing 129 out of 673 men. The Charge, ‘twenty minutes of glory’, became one of the most famous actions in military history, immortalised in Tennyson’s ballad, and entering public imagination as the epitome of Victorian military heroism. Cardigan was made Inspector-General of Cavalry in 1855, a post he held for five years.
