The skull and crossbones — the Death or Glory badge — was adopted by the 17th Lancers in memory of General Wolfe, who fell at the moment of victory at the Battle of Quebec in 1759. It has been worn with pride ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17th Lancers charged at Balaclava in 1854 as part of the Light Brigade — one of the most celebrated and catastrophic cavalry charges in military history, immortalised by Tennyson and remembered by every generation since.
