Article renamed; Raglan is a title, not a surname. -- Someone else 23:00 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)

I have to protest at Raglan being described as displaying 'the promptness and resolution of his youth' at Balaklava and Inkerman. He harly took part at all and was virtually unheard from or seen. Except to occasionaly command frontal assaults by tiny cadres of troops.

Also despite the fact that home authoritites were to blame for the shambolic logistics, Raglan refused to allow the purchase of wood from Anatolia to allow for floors for tents to be made or fires for the men to dry out.

He was imho a true example of a thoroughly incompetant commander.

If no one objects I will amend the article to this effect.
