Hi, A list of Charge of the Light Brigade casualties can be found at http://www.capefam.freeserve.co.uk/lightbrig.htm but no Lt. Col. Robertson. Lt. Col. is a reasonably senior rank commonly in command of a regiment. Casualties and regimental histories would certainly record careers of such, somewhewe! There is a Crimea War Research Society at http://www.crimeanwar.org/ which might help. > > --- CEHAUGHEE@aol.com wrote: > > Hello List: Can anyone help me find a listing of > > officers from Scottish > > regiments in the Crimean War?
