As we consider the above we must also acknowledge that Gallipoli was a planned attack that went awry and Churchill, whose career was in tatters in the aftermath, slinked away in humiliation. He salvaged his career, which he believed to be over, by his actions at the front lines of WWI.

The Charge of the Light Brigade though was the result of a miscommunication, with the Brigade attacking the wrong position.
