This long garrison servicefinally came to an end when it was sent to the Crimea in 1854, losing all its horses en route in a fire on board its troop ship 'Europa', but still managing to take part in the charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaklava in October 1854.This is a Fabulous Piece of British Cavalry History.
