Charge of the Light Brigade
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Charge of the Light Brigade (25 October 1854) was a conflict fought between the Russian Empire and the British Empire and its allies, including France. Agonal, disguised as an officer, actually caused it so he could feed on and enjoy the agony and death. (PROSE: Blood Harvest)
The Doctor witnessed the charge during at least two of his incarnations, and referred to it as a "magnificent folly." (TV: The Evil of the Daleks; AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari, PROSE: The King of Terror)
