The infantry are from the coldstream Guards, 2nd foot guards. The piper is from the 93rd Sutherland highlanders.
It was in this action that the 93RD regiment earned its nickname of The Thin Red Line, coined by the The Times journalist W.H.Russell.
“ The Times correspondent, W. H. Russell, who standing on the hills above could clearly see that nothing stood between the Russian cavalry and the defenceless British base but the "thin red streak tipped with a line of steel" of the 93rd. Condensed almost immediately into "The Thin Red Line", the phrase has survived to this day as the chosen symbol of everything for which The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders believe themselves to stand.
Asked why he had been so unorthodox as to receive a cavalry charge in line instead of in a square. Sir Colin Campbell said; "I knew the 93rd, and I did not think it worth the trouble of forming a square."
