11th Hussars in the Charge

Of their part in the Charge, many personal reminiscences were recorded by men of the 11th Hussars, one of the most interesting being that of Sgt. Major George Loy Smith, which in its manuscript form is now in the Officer's Mess of the Royal Hussars.

The Victoria Cross was won by Lieutenant Dunn (the only one awarded to an officer in the Brigade) for saving the life of Sgt. Bentley and going to the assistance of other men.

One officer, two Sgts., one Cpl., and twenty-two men were killed. Four Sgts., two Cpls, and twenty-one men were wounded and one Cpl. and seven men were taken prisoner, the Russians being unable to capture any prisoners who had not been wounded or his horse shot.
