Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of death
Ran the six hundred
from memory

Bogs to the left of them,
Bogs to the right of them,
Bogs in front of them,
shattered and red faced,
ran the six hundred,


That takes me back, I had to recite The charge of the light Brigade from memory at a speech day at school in front of the local dignatries inc the lord mayor of Leeds,
Thanks for the trip Xrunner
