Edward Richard Woodham (original) (raw)

Edward Richard Woodham (20 February 1831 – 12 December 1886) was one of the survivors of the Charge of the Light Brigade on 25 October 1854 during the Crimean War. As the "Chairman of the committee for the celebration", he organised a 21st Anniversary dinner for the survivors of the "Charge" (at the Alexandra Palace in London), reported in detail in the Illustrated London News dated Saturday 30 October 1875. The senior commander surviving, Lord Lucan, was not present; the newspaper account suggests that he was not invited.
