Raglan had to admit that the brigade commander was not to blame. Age of George III Home Page, Ministerial This map is taken from Christopher Hibbert's The Destruction course, remains with him. Might be good for a military person, but far too much detail and names to remember for me. The book is very readable and I think that the author attempts to answer the question `who' was to blame quite fairly and without malice. At Balaclava (as stated in the book) Lord Raglan with "General" Airey despatched hopelessly inadequate messages, Lord Lucan despised Nolan as much as he was despised by him, I can't believe that he, a senior commander had to take "Captain" Nolan's topographical directions without question, whoever it had come from, of course in would of been nice if Lord Lucan and Lord Cardigan had been on better terms, they might of talked some sense into the order, as it was it was as much as Lucan could do to speak to Cardigan, Cardigan did go so far as to point out what they where about to do,(all this would be funny anywhere else except in the middle of a battle) but that's all, "General lord" George Cathcart wasn't exactly helpful either, behaving like a big daft child.
