	FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lord Fitzroy Somerset was educated at Westminster School, and entered the army in 1804.
		Lord Raglan and his staff were at the time blamed by the press and the government for the hardships and sufferings of the British soldiers in the terrible Crimean winter before the Siege of Sevastopol, owing to shortages of food and clothing.
		Lord Raglan was to blame not only for representing matters in a too sanguine light, but also refusing to purchase supplies of wood from the Ottomans to be used for making floors for the tented buildings of the British camp and also to allow the troops to light fires, essential in the bitter damp winter.

		Raglan became secretary to Wellington in 1818, retaining that position until the latter's death (1852) when Raglan succeeded him as master general of ordinance.
		However, he was handicapped by his joint command with the French commander, Marshal Saint-Arnaud, by weather conditions, and by the inefficiency of government departments and became the object of bitter criticism because of slow military progress and the sufferings of the troops.

	The Times 1.4.1863 p 5
		The circumstances under which Lord Raglan announced to his colleague the abandonment of the plan to which he had promised to give a vigorous co-operation are stated by Mr Kinglake very authoritatively.
		As Lord Raglan had positively declined to make a flank attack, and as he had moreover stated distinctly he would attack in front, there seems no reason why he should not have at once ordered an advance without waiting for the development of a plan he had rejected.
		Lord Raglan was, however, in an arch mood, and jested with a French aide, when he came to tell him how Bosquet was placed, about the euphemistic word "compromise." Lord Raglan "bore a singular hatred against it" (p.

		This was almost certainly the implication that Raglan himself wanted his readers to draw from his work: he was by no means a devout believer, and the present Lord Raglan is a leading member of the National Secular Society.
		Raglan doesn't choose his words with particular precision: motif 4, for example, requires that 'the circumstances of [the hero's] conception [be] unusual'.
		This doesn't necessarily invalidate Raglan's hero-story schema; it is worthwhile remembering, however, that his work in general tends to be regarded as problematic, and that he cannot be regarded as ever having worked at the cutting edge of scholarship.

		Raglan was relieved to have the matter cleared up, for he claimed that it had disturbed his normally close relationship with Sir George brown, the most senior of his divisional commanders, Cathcart expressed relief as well, but within ten days he was killed in action at Inkerman.
		Lord Raglan continued, at first, to be popular enough with his troops, though he was extraordinarily reluctant to show himself or acknowledge their cheers.

		In 1854 he was given a brigade command in the army sent out to the East; from which, however, he was immediately transferred to the onerous and difficult post of quartermaster-general to Lord Raglan, in which capacity he served through the campaign in the Crimea.
		He was made a major-general in December 1854, and it was universally recog- nized in the army that he was the best soldier on Lord Raglan's staff.
		He died at the house of Lord Wolseley, at Leatherhead, on the i4th of September 1881.

	Vanity and War
		Raglan, an inept commander, was constantly afraid to commit his forces, missing significant opportunities to disrupt and dislodge Russian troops and causing some of his more experienced junior officers to weep with rage as they were forced to remain idle in the face of a panicky, demoralized enemy.
		Raglan finally sent down a series of four highly ambiguous orders, the first of which further distressed the cavalry by moving them off to one side and away from infantry troops who needed their support.
		Raglan would later say that Lucan should have read the third and fourth order together and understood that the guns referred to were on the Causeway Heights, subject of the third order.

		Lord Raglan, in reply, said he would value the address as a remembrance of the many very pleasant occasions on which he had interviewed members of the Association.

		The inhabitants of this Island have kept a very warm corner in their hearts for Lord Raglan — especially since he ceased to be Governor — and they will feel a real sense of shock and pain because of his late Excellency's death, which occurred in London on October 24th.
		Lord Raglan cherished a deep-rooted conviction that the function of a Government was never to govern unless it could not avoid governing; let the citizens be protected against the invader and against internal disorder, and the material and moral welfare of the community could be left to the normal operation of natural laws.
		Lord Raglan is survived by his wife, who is a daughter of the seventh Earl of Dessborough, and whose name will always be a veritable legend in the Island for those benevolent societies which are supposed to be the holy calling of leisured ladies.

		The note read simply, "Well done, Scarlett." Raglan was not so pleased with Lord Cardigan, the leader of the Light Brigade, who let had a golden opportunity slip by not pusuing the Russians the Heavy Brigade had put to flight.
		Lord Raglan fumed with impatience at this inactivity and just then the critical event occurred.
		Lord George Paget, commander of the second line, on being informed that Russian lancers were closing in behind them shouted, "Halt boys, halt front, if we don't halt now we're done!" His men obeyed and turned their weary horses back down the valley up which they had charged at such cost.

		Lord Cardigan charged with the utmost vigour, attacked a battery which was firing upon the advancing squadrons, and, having passed beyond it, engaged the Russian cavalry in its rear; but there his troops were assailed by artillery and infantry as well as cavalry, and necessarily retired, after having committed much havoc upon the enemy.
		The Fourth Division had advanced close to the heights, and Sir George Cathcart caused one of the redoubts to be occupied by the Turks, affording them his support, and he availed himself of the opportunity to assist with his riflemen in silencing two of the enemy’s guns.

		To Raglan, conscious that his mentor, the great Duke of Wellington, had never lost a single gun, it seemed imperative that the guns should be recaptured - as well as the heights - to reinforce his victory.
		Publicly emollient as ever, Raglan had been reluctant to apportion blame in his dispatch on the battle, but called to account by Lucan, he threw away restraint and in a letter to the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for War, he criticised Lucan’s inattention, reasoning and understanding.
		During the winter of 1854-55 Raglan was heavily criticised both by The Times and in officers’ letters home for his neglect and incompetence causing the breakdown of supply and the sufferings of the troops.
