The poem talks about the importance of clear communication. Due to a miscommunication, the Light Brigade charged right into a clear death trap. The men obeyed the suicidal orders that was given to them and paid a heavy price. Almost half the Brigade was wiped out, and though little was accomplished strategically, the charge went down as one of the most glorious battles in British military history. Alfred Tennyson read about this in the newspaper, and wrote it in a poem.
