Sergeant Luke O'Connor Winning the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Alma by L.W. Desanges. Although shot in the breast, bravely carries forward one of the colours at the Battle of Alma, 20th September 1854.

Stormd at with Shot and Shell, 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) Oct 25 1854 at Balaclava by Chris Collingwood. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volleyd and thunderd, Stormd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell rode the six hundred. The following is part of a letter from an officer of the Light Brigade who was camped near Balaclava on October 27th: ...there was no hesitation: down our fellows went at a gallop, through a fire in front and on both flanks, which emptied our saddles and knocked over our horses by scores. I do not think that one man flinched in the whole brigade, though every one allows that so hot a fire was hardly ever seen.

Fording the Alma by Lewis H. Johns. The second battalion the Rifle Brigade preparing the way across the River Alma.
