He looks like a pretty burly guy! and no doubt was quite a swordsman! strictly business. I found it interesting that the sword he was carrying in the charge was noted as more substantial than the others typically carried at that time.
Could he have had an 1853?
Sounds like his dander was up pretty good as the 4th stormed through the guns, and the Russian gunners were scrambling as he took out eleven!
It sounds suspect that such a specific number is given.....but what is certain is that he must have seemed a demon from hell to those guys as he tore through them.
