Major-General William Beatson earned a reputation as a leader of irregular cavalry
in the nineteenth century. He trained future commanders of the Victorian army, saw
action in Spain and British India, and rode with the Heavy Brigade at the Battle of
Balaklava. But tasked with disciplining the Turkish Bashi-Bazouks during the Crimean
War, his character flaws led him into conflict with politicians and diplomats running
the war, who accused him of inciting mutiny. Parliament, newspapers and the law courts
then became his chosen battlefields as he fought to clear his name and return to duty
