Balaklava

Balaklava became famous during the Crimean War (March 1854 - February 1856) because of the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1854. This engagement led to the death of over 200 English cavalry, along with 400 horses. One letter states that Robert Malcolm Dewar had been at sea for five months, indicating he joined up after the war ended.
