Cardigan's

Besides the balaclava (named for one of the significant battlefields), there's the Cardigan sweater (named for the officer who led and somehow survived the Charge of the Light Brigade), and the Raglan style sweater/shirt (named for Cardigan's senior officer, relative, and antagonist).

Lew Nolan came down to see me when I was mending, and gave me all the gossip - about how my old friend Fan Duberly was on hand, living on a ship in the bay, and how Cardigan's yacht had arrived, and his noble lordship, pleading a weak chest, had deserted his Light Brigade for the comforts of life aboard, where he slept soft and stuffed his guts with the best.

I suppose Cardigan's "Walk-march - trot!" at Balaclava is the most memorable battlefield command I've ever heard, but J. B.'s order for breakfast at Harper's Ferry runs it close.

Reviewing Cardigan's dilemma, I'd have whipped up my britches, feinted towards the window to draw the outraged spouse, doubled back with a spring on to the bed, and then been through the door in a twinkling.
