    Stirring Stuff

    For those of you who have more then a passing interest in victorian military history then this title may be for you. Ably narrated by the great brian Blessed this film tells the stirring and heroic tale of that fatefull day in 1854 during the crimean war. By using excerps from the 1965 move 'The charge of the light brigade'and re-creating interviews with eye witnesses the film charts the campaign in depth untill the follys that led to the ill fated charge down the wrong valley. This film is a must to watch, told in an exciting style(Blessed) and easy to understand.

    The DVD also shows you other titles in the Military Campaign series. Very good watched it twice
