Has anybody got any thoughts about why the Charge of the Light brigade is remembered through english history over some of the other charges, for example, the Charge of the heavy brigade earlier that day, which was just as courageous, and just as stupid.
So why the charge of the light brigade remembered over the heavy brigade and/or other charges?

Winston Churchill was a member of both the 4th Queens Own Hussars and the 21st Lancers. As a a member of the 21st Lancers, he led one of the last british cavalry charges, against the muslims in sudan.
