How far do the sources suggest that Captain Nolan was to blame for the disastrous charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava? Although Captain Nolan can be seen as one of the main parties to blame in the disastrous charge of the Light Brigade, he was not the commanding officer so his judgement and orders were not supreme, he was merely delivering the orders that Lord Raglan had conveyed through is scribe. This suggests that the blame may not just involve Captain Nolan. As for the evidence that supports the claim that Captain Nolan was to blame for the charge of the Light Brigade, Source A says that he didn’t follow his orders completely and that states that he had an ‘excess of enthusiasm’. This excess of ‘enthusiasm’ could be seen as the weakness that led to him misdirecting the cavalry into a frontal assault, to which they were defeated, emphatically.
Source E on the other hand accuses the management of ‘neglect’ towards the soldiers which completely challenges Raglan’s claims. Lord Raglan claims he feels ‘every reason to be satisfied’ but source E illustrates an unflattering picture of the army’s management. Both sources E and B present a negative picture of the situation in Crimea, they also suggest a reason for the suffering of the British soldiers relates to a lack of supplies as source E
This shows a lack of care or consideration from the leaders for their troops as they are willing to allow their soldiers out in these conditions whilst knowing how bad they were. In contrast to source 1’s report on the conditions of the trenches source 2 is a private letter written in reply to Queen Victoria. Lord Raglan was a commander in chief of the British army, as a high ranking officer he needs to be seen as involved and accountable for the actions of others. Whereas in this letter he appears to be highlighting the lack of concern for the troops by staff but also stating he has no power in changing this. He recognises their efforts but speaks of their duties rather than praise or reward.
“Armies are led by incompetent generals.” How far do you agree with this statement in the time period of 1792-1945? Incompetence can be defined as a lack of physical or intellectual ability or qualifications, therefore incompetence in relation to generals could refer to the way they use their skills and abilities. There are many skills attributable to a general, however, at the forethought of this is their use of tactics, an adaptability to change and mould to the situation and the use of resources they deem necessary or happen upon during war. Therefore, it should be these skills we assess when looking at the competence of generals, all the way from the Napoleonic Wars to the World Wars in the 20th century. Looking at the period between 1792 and 1945, it is easy to evaluate generals looking at their tactics as this is a prominent feature in their occupation and can be used to assess their competence in relation to their approach to war.
