In the midst of war, a group of British soldiers are ordered to make a bold and dangerous charge against the enemy lines. Despite the odds against them, the soldiers ride into battle with courage and determination, unaware of the fate that awaits them. The poem ends with the famous line "Not tho' the soldier know some clever thing / Their comrades fall, they advance but hear / Not tho' the police may say 'Don't go' / I charge to the front." I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
