Picture No 10220767
Date 1854
Description Captain Nolan
Details

Captain Edward Nolan (1818 - 1854), killed at the Charge of the Light Brigade of the Battle of Balaclava of October 25th 1854 during the Crimean War. Nolan, of the 15th Hussars, was charged with carrying Lord Raglan's orders instructing Lord Lucan to embark on the disastrous manouevre. Nolan was killed by an exploding shell as the cavalry set off. His obituary in the Illustrated London News absolves Nolan from any blame and concentrates heavily on his book about military matters, which had previously been reviewed in the paper in January of that year.
