ChargeoftheLightBrigade.com is a "website-in-progress" based on the researches of Jim Boys, who died in 2002.
Progress on the site has so far been very slow, and only a tiny fraction of the material is now online. But the aim is ultimately to make universally available a detailed account of the lives of every member of the Light Brigade who served in the Crimean War - more than 2600 Hussars, Lancers and Light Dragoons, including the "600" celebrated in Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade", after which the site is named.
However, this is likely to take some time – the database alone runs to 1.5 million words, not counting other items in the archive, including a large number of published and manuscript sources, hundreds of photographs and many artefacts and memorabilia.
