The Scots Greys, a Dragoon regiment named for their famous grey horses, arrived in the Crimea in 1854, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Griffith arrived and assigned to Brigadier-General Sir James Scarlett's Heavy Brigade. On 25 October 1854, as part of the Battle of Balaklava, they repelled a numerically superior Russian Cavalry force of approximately 3,000 sabres (alongside the British dragoons under the same command), inflicting 270 casualties against their 78, routing a direct threat to the Highlanders and the British supply base. However, they could only look on as the Light Brigade were led by Lord Cardigan in that great folly.
