The Scots Greys, a Dragoon regiment named for their famous grey horses, arrived in the Crimea in 1854, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Griffith arrived and assigned to Brigadier-General Sir James Scarlett's Heavy Brigade. On 25 October 1854, as part of the Battle of Balaklava, they repelled a numerically superior Russian Cavalry force of approximately 3,000 sabres (alongside the British dragoons under the same command), inflicting 270 casualties against their 78, routing a direct threat to the Highlanders and the British supply base. However, they could only look on as the Light Brigade were led by Lord Cardigan in that great folly.
This pack contains three mounted command figures, cast in metal.
