“Ours is not to make reply, ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.” This is supposedly the answer given to a Lieutenant begging his superior officer to call off the charge that was clearly suicidal (though it was likely added later as an embellishment). The Crimean War started over trade routes, essentially. The light brigade was an obsolete unit of cavalry who misunderstood an order given to them. They were meant to scout in some hills to locate artillery positions, but confusion about their orders led them into a killing field in front of the guns they were meant to scout. It would be Britain’s greatest military blunder until Gallipoli in WWI. The only thing cooler than metal is history! Keep rockin dude!

Daniel Berge Espe Honestly, the “Big 4” (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer) have pretty deep lyrics as well. One thing I’ve always liked about Iron Maiden is that what it lacks in heaviness and aggression is made up for in “adventure”, as a comment on Reddit had said. Their songs take you through an adventure and their softer music makes it even better

Chris, this was a song based on a poem that was quite literally about the beginning of modern warfare of guns. For hundreds of years the biggest weapon on the field of battle was the armored knight on a horse. A close second was the longbow. And in this battle on one side you had men on horses, and on the other you had entrenched men with guns. The men with guns obliterated the men on horse. And this presaged how WWI would be fought.

In the book World War Z, "The Battle of Hope. The battle itself lasted for hours, from one day through the night and then to dawn the next morning. Sound speakers played the song "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden loudly to lure zombies from all across the countryside via the chain swarm effect; the moans of these zombies attracted more zombies, and so on, until all of the zombies from a large swath of the region were descending on Hope. The music served the secondary purpose of getting the solders "pumped" and ready for battle, increasing morale (for the troops who liked "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden)."

I love this song so much, he touched on it near the end but the song is about the charge of the light brigade in the Crimean War (1853-1856) in where the British light brigade was mistakenly ordered to charge into the middle of the Russian defensive lines instead of their actual target, an exposed flank. The men knew that it was a death sentence, a virtual suicide mission that was likely to result in complete annihilation but chose to follow through with the orders as it wasn’t a soldier’s duty to question orders, it was their duty to follow them to the letter. It was one of the greatest military blunders in the history of the British empire, it was immortalized in the poem “the charge of the light brigade” I’d highly recommend giving it a read, it’s not too long and it really knocks the situation home.

The Trooper is based on the novel taught in all public middle/high school English classes, "The Charge Of The Light Brigade". It was a tiny war between the British Empire and the Russian Empire in the mid 19th century. The British Empire tried to seize the Crimea peninsula out of Russian hands because it sat on the Black Sea, the only ice free year around port the Russians occupied at the time. The British had the best skilled, trained, and armed soldiers in the world and even though the Russian's were poorly armed and trained they had the shear man power to repel the British invasion and won the tiny little war.

It is incredible how crisp the bass guitar is on this song especially at this tempo. Amazing 🤩. Not the biggest fan of Iron Maiden but I do respect them after this tune and Run to the Hills. 😮

Steve Harris’ bass is like the thundering hoof beats of the four horsemen of the apocalypse!’
