The charge of the Light Brigade

At the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, the ‘Light Brigade’, (a group of British soldiers), charged down a narrow valley to fight the Russian soldiers who had captured British guns. The Russians were at the end of the valley as well as on each side of it. The attack was not a wise choice and happened because of a misunderstanding of an order sent by the commander-in-chief. After following orders less than a third of these men survived.

Chloe-WTWB Reflection

When the Wind Blows

I thought this story was a bit funny because James kept on yelling at Ducks and saying words that Ducks had never heard before.

The labour herald said “This book deserves a wide audience and should be compulsory reading. “ I think it a good book for everyone to read because when you read it there’s a joke to it.

The guardian said “ It is meant to break your heart to some purpose. “ I think it meant to break your heart because it sad that they are trying to survive by living in a shelter.
