Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find a roster for the Light Brigade (I know this is not the correct name for the unit)?
My great, great grandfather was supposedly the paymaster for the unit and did not take part in the battle.
Also...looking for a roster of the nurses who worked for Florence Nightingale in Scutari. My Great grandmother was born in Scutari and her mother was one of the nurses.
Anything will help.
Thanks,
Greg

Welcome to tghe British-Genealogy forums
If you came to us from Forces War Records reading this will tell you a little about us.
Wikipedia tells me
"The charge was made by the Light Brigade of the British cavalry, which consisted of the 4th and 13th Light Dragoons, 17th Lancers, and the 8th and 11th Hussars, under the command of Major General James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan."
This is The National Archives guide to the Crimean War. it doesn't look as if there is a lot of information online.
Here is The National Archives guide to nursing.

I think you need to search for his service record first...
https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/h...rs-up-to-1913/
Then there are the pay and muster records...

Recipients of the Crimea Medal will be listed in National Archives series WO100 which is available online on Ancestry.
