I've been looking for something akin to how I would read this in terms of intonation and pace, and every other rendition on TH-cam has fallen short. Thank you for this!

[@benreadspoetry7958]

Was unaware that this poem gives flesh to the sacrifices of the Crimean War+

[@benreadspoetry7958]

Yes - in fact, there is a (very grainy, obviously) recording of Tennyson reading the poem himself!

Nice idea to add funeral March to the end

[@benreadspoetry7958]

Thanks Hunter - I looked for a piano only version to give it the right pathos.
