The late Captain Lewis Edward Nolan,15th Hussars,1854. Creator: Unknown.

The late Captain Lewis Edward Nolan, 15th Hussars, 1854. British officer killed in the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. 'Poor Lewis Nolan has gone to his rest. In a cavalry action three days ago he bore an order from Lord Raglan to Lord Lucan to charge a battery of heavy field-pieces, and, in the act of delivering it, a piece of shell struck him on the left breast, and passed through his body. Death, by the mercy of Heaven, was instantaneous...he was a gallant soul. The day before his death, I am glad to think, I met him, and he said, "Well, Bob, is not this fun? I think it is the most glorious life a man could lead."...I am sorry to say, now that he is gone, some people here say that in the heat of the moment, poor Lewis gave Lord Lucan a wrong order. Such is not the case. The order was a written one, and therefore the mistake was not on his side'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
