Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell rode the six hundred.

"Storm'd at with Shot and Shell", 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) Oct 25 1854 at Balaclava by Chris Collingwood.  

"Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,

Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
into the mouth of hell
rode the six hundred."

"...there was no hesitation: down our fellows went at a gallop, through a fire in front and on both flanks, which emptied our saddles and knocked over our horses by scores. I do not think that one man flinched in the whole brigade, though every one allows that so hot a fire was hardly ever seen..."
