Into the Valley of Death by John Mollo

Into the Valley of Death by John Mollo

The Charge of the Light Brigade and the almost simultaneous victory of the Heavy Brigade are both landmarks in horse soldiering. This book describes the organization, tactical doctrine and exact strength of the British Cavalry in the Crimea, with emphasis on the appearance of both regiments.

Archibald Ernest Haswell Miller was a Scottish soldier, painter and historian. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art between 1906 and 1909, becoming a probationary Professor and traveling to study in Paris, Vienna, Munich and Berlin. It was during these travels that he painted the majority of the figures in this book. He served with the 7th (Blytheswood) Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry in Gallipoli, Palestine and France, during which service he was awarded the Military Cross, attained the rank of Captain, and continued to sketch and paint as opportunities arose. He became a prolific painter of military portraits and his work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and elsewhere.

For the last 25 years of his life Haswell Miller was an advisor to the Army Museums Ogilby Trust. He died in 1979 aged 92
