Hang on. There's Lord Byron and there's Lord Tennyson - different people. Lord Tennyson wrote The Charge of the Light Brigade, where your quotation comes from.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Charge of the Light Brigade - 1854
It was a poetic anti-war chronicle of the haphazard cavalry charge at Balaclava during the Crimean War.
The 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' was a disastrous episode in the Crimean War on the 25th October 1854 during the Battle of Balaclava. Confusion, error and poor communication resulted in the Light Brigade being sent on a cavalry charge towards the main Russian artillery position instead of the isolated enemy outpost. ~ Stanza one of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that there is a large military unit that is moving towards their enemy and to their fate. Stanza two of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that someone had made a mistake, but no one knew and no one was frightened to enter battle. The six hundred soldiers did not ask any questions regarding why they were fighting. They simply fought the fight. Stanza three of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that their enemy was firing upon them rapidly and continuously. However, the soldiers persevered and entered "the mouth of hell," where many would perish. Stanza four of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that they continued to fight courageously. "All the world wondered" can be understood to mean that all of the world was mesmerized by the brigade's courage and honor. However, many of the soldiers died and "rode back, but not, Not the six hundred." Stanza five of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that more shots were fired upon them, and they "fought so well." However, it was only those who were left of the initial army. The sixth and last stanza of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that even though many of the brigade soldiers died, their glory will go down in history. Finally, the speaker tells the audience to honor the battle that they had fought and to honor all six hundred of the soldiers.
Major General Leonard Wood was awarded the Medal of Honor in the Indian Wars and commanded a Cavalry Brigade in Cuba.
Yes. Nineteen men have received the Medal twice. Five of these men received both the Army and Navy Medal of Honor for the same action, fourteen earned the Medal in two different actions on two different occasions. All five instances of the award of both Medals for the same action occurred in WWI. The US 2nd Infantry Division in that war had one Brigade of Marines and one Brigade of soldiers, and this led to the duplication. No one has earned the Medal twice since WWI, but it is possible.

Well, it was not exactly 600 soldiers.According to whichever source is correct, the number of soldiers varies from 607 to 661, or even as many as 673.The number 600 was a better fit for Tennyson's famous poem about the event. The example below illustrates that point. Choose whichever number of lancers that suits you and....The Charge of the Light Brigade, Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1854.
