Answer
Cardigan died in 1868 during a daring charge of the Light Brigade against Russian forces during the Crimean War, famously described in the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The poorly executed attack, immortalized in the lines "Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die," resulted in significant British casualties and contributed to Cardigan's tragic fate.
