Wild guess, is she perhaps called Charlotte, and is a harlot?

I don't have any roman empire book so I had to start somewhere and I actually learned something.

Nope. Good geography but no.

Looking at the map, I'd say the key is Cardigan Bay - Lord Cardigan was leader of the Light Brigade at the battle of Balaklava. [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

What n_a said.

 

[Pineapple Hunter]

Well done NA!

Yep, Lord Cardy was the leader of the Light Brigade at Balaclava.
And...as we all know The Trooper is about a soldier in the charge.

Told you it was easy. [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
