Somerset John Gough Calthorpe who served with the Regiment from 1849 to 1856 and who was present at the Battle of Balaclava as ADC to Lord Lucan, Commander of the Cavalry Division. I am afraid that I no longer have the original piece of paper but Calthorpe’s career fits with the pattern of sabretache”. Good Condition. Plate 13 Note: “Honour the Light Brigade” by Lummis & Wynn notes the following: “Calthorpe served in the Crimea as aide-de-camp to Lord Raglan. In 1863 Lord Cardigan brought an action against Calthorpe over statements made in the latters’s book “Letters from Headquarters”. In it Calthorpe stated that Cardigan had been riding back up the Valley whilst parts of the Light Brigade were still moving towards the Russian guns. There were many affidavits, both confirming and denying this statement from survivors of the Charge. Cardigan won his case”.
