how many british soldiers died in the battle of balaclava
Battle of Balaclava The loss of the Light Brigade had been such a traumatic event that the allies were incapable of further action that day.[97] Of the 666 men known to have ridden in the charge (sources vary slightly),[98] 271 became casualties: 110 killed (less than 17%), 129 wounded, plus another 32 wounded and taken prisoner. Additionally, 375 horses were killed.[99] Raglan could not now risk using his infantry divisions in any attempt to move Liprandi's forces from the Causeway Heights. Even if the redoubts were retaken, they would have to be defended by men whose priority was the siege of Sevastopol, and he dared not expose his supply base at Balaclava to further Russian attacks. The British 1st and 4th Infantry Divisions, therefore, returned to the plateau, the former without its Highland regiments who were ordered to remain in the valley under Campbellâ€™s command.[100]
