1. Bolton Veterans’ Memorial
Stanza Three of “The Charge of the Light Brigade”
Written in 1854
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thunder’d;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)
