Britain Collectors Club by visitingwww.wbritain-collectorsclub.co.ukWELCOME TO ISSUE 28Welcome“It is magni cent, but it is not war.It is madness”– Pierre Bosquet, French general at Balaclava,observing the Light Brigade’s chargeCONTRIBUTORSTOM GARNERThings have been a bitgrim and Medieval for Tomthis month, as he trudgedthrough the life of Edward,the Black Prince (page 84).To cheer himself up, hespoke with author FearghalMcGarry for his Easter Risingcentenary feature (page 68).On 25 October 1854, over600 British light horsegalloped headlong intoa gauntlet of Russian cannon.The attack stood little chanceof success, and many in theBrigade would be lucky to evensurvive. It was madness, surely,but was it really magnificent?Thanks in large part toTennyson’s famous beatifyingstanzas, the legend of the‘Noble Six Hundred’ is moreoften remembered thanBalaclava, or even the obscurewar in which they were fighting.Some 60 years later, the madslaughter of war would reach anas yet unprecedented scale, atbattlefields such as Verdun. Here,the imagined ‘magnificent’ or‘glorious’ war was nowhere to befound – only madness and death.JONATHAN KRAUSEJonathan is back with thesecond of his two-part epicon the Battle of Verdun.
