The Thin Red Line…..and a little bit of blue


93rd Highlanders and Royal Marines







"The Thin Red Line was a military action by the Sutherland Highlanders red-coated 93rd (Highland) Regiment at the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854, during the Crimean War. In this incident the 93rd were aided by a small force of Royal Marines and some Turkish infantrymen, led by Sir Colin Campbell, routed a Russian cavalry charge" thanks go to Wikipedia for this quote
