[[Flashman at the Charge]] is a comic historical novel, one of [[The Flashman Papers]] by [[George MacDonald Fraser]]. It begins with the [[Battle of Balaclava]] where Flashman takes part in several actions: the [[Thin Red Line (Battle of Balaclava)|Thin Red Line]], the [[Battle_of_Balaclava#Charge_of_the_Heavy_Brigade|Charge of the Heavy Brigade]], and the Charge of the Light Brigade. As usual for those novels, the military history is quite accurate except for having Flashman inserted. |
