The Trooper

Today I was listening to the "The Trooper" song when I thought it could be interesting to post something about it here. "The Trooper" is a song written by the British band Iron Maiden. The song talks about a soldier who dies in the "Battle of Balaclava" that took place in 1854 and was part of the Anglo-French-Turkish campaign to capture the port and fortress of Sevastopol, Russia's principal naval base on the Black Sea. It's one of my favourite songs and I hope you like it too.
